Dermatology Appointment - Steroids
I had a further Dermatology appointment on Tuesday. As some of you will know I have SCLE, (DLE & SLE symptoms) diagnosed in 2013 with a positive ANA and Anti-RO blood test, plus many symptoms but no internal organ involvement. I have been struggling with increasing symptoms and flares getting closer
