I had about 4 individual Small lesions on my arms last summer and after two blood tests and a few doctor appointments , they think I have subacute lupus. The blood results came back as in concluded but my doctor said it is in line with it. I sometimes have achey joints in the morning but I have a very active job So I am Still not sure if I have it or not?
Has anyone else been in my situation?
Thank you

Dear GM81, your post strikes a chord with me. Like you I was super busy but began to notice that I was stiff and achey when I got up in the morning. I just thought I was getting older. I also had some strange rashes which also used to come up accompanied by fatigue. Then a big infection triggered a massive flare and when in hospital I was diagnosed with severe lupus. It also emerged that the lupus had been quietly been damaging my spleen and my liver. I now wish that I had known so that I could have looked into the possibility of taking preventative, safeguarding meds such as perhaps hydroxychloroquine. With my very best regards, Lily
