What other tests

[JCM1992]

Hi all. Other than ANA which obviously indicates an autoimmune condition (I'm highly positive)

And I have many symptoms of what I feel is Lupus.

I'm just wondering what tests are available once referred to rheumatology.

So I am armed with Knowledge and don't get fobbed off. Is there anything further I can ask my GP to do? As the rheumatology wait is over 4 months.

I get Joint Pain, slight Malar Rash (not rasied) always jusy flat and red across the bridge and cheeks, headaches, bruising, hives and angiodema, ulcers, joint pain, fatigue

The more I research the more I am convinced its lupus. Just hoping the diagnosis route is not too long for me.

Thanks x

Hi,

Just wondering whether you’ve had a read of this pamphlet available here under publications?
