Just wanted to add: I’m not taking anything anyone says as a diagnosis or medical advice I promise.
I was just curious what people thought it looked like, and just gave info for context. I promise I’m not thinking if someone says it does look like the lupus rash that I’m not taking it as a diagnosis.
I’m posting cause I need help. I live in the US (where the doctors for the most part only want to be rich and literally don’t care about their patients 😞). My names Caroline. Im 36. I started having this rash about a year ago and it comes and goes. I already have one autoimmune disorder - Hashimotos. But in the last year, I’ve also been having new symptoms like joint pain, fevers, sores in my mouth and just recently a sore in my nostril (which I’ve never had before!) I’ve been chronically ill for about 9 years. My Dr thinks I have spinal compression but they can’t get me in for an mri until June 😞 having a LOT of neurological symptoms. ESR and CRP have been high since last June, but ANA by Elisa was negative both times. They refuse to do any of the other lupus panel tests. Im having cardiac symptoms, evidence of liver and kidney distress they are ignoring cause it’s abnormal but I guess not “abnormal enough”? 😞 I just found this site on google and I hope it’s ok for me to post… but my main question is, to people with diagnosed lupus, does this look like a lupus rash? I have other pics too but it would only let me put one. Thanks🙏
