This is my first post. Biopsy a month ago, no results yet, but at the hospital, doctor said I had Lupus due to thick, white lining in my esophagus. Couldn't eat. Can anyone shed light on my condition?

Not a medical pro, so please read with caution.

A quick search of lupus info doesn’t turn up a condition like the one you describe. Lupus is an auto-immune condition that can compromise almost any organ or tissue, but unless you’ve got other data to confirm a lupus diagnosis I’d suggest a second opinion that includes an upper scope.
