So frustrated

[faceit]

I am so frustrated with gp who cannot or did not or has not giving me a proper lupus diagnosis yet. Although, my mother has lupus and I have this rash on my nose that is starting to look lik dents on both sides and. Dark cheeks. I just want to get the proper diagnosis so I can move forward with my life.

Hi Faceit, welcome to the Thyroid UK forum. If you have thyroid problems we're happy to help with them but you'll probably get better advice on getting a Lupus diagnosis if you post on the HU Lupus forum.

My sister is being tested for Lupus..she has a referral to see a rheumy consultant. Like you she has a rash and many many symptoms. Explain to your gp that you need to see a specialist to investigate further.

Hi, has your GP conducted blood tests, as this is what is required for Lupus, although they are not conclusive, I do not have the rash but have had very serious symptoms, but only managed to pass a test at age 48! If he is suspicious that you do have it, or you are you need to be referred to a rheumatologist, however often they have long lists as they cover so many diseases. Lupus UK on here will help you. Lots of us are on several forums. MaryF

ps these are the Symptoms, and you will need a positive ANA blood test result: nhs.uk/Conditions/Lupus/Pag...
