Hi all,
I'm new here and wondering.
I posted as a reply but realized I should have posted as a new topic? Anyway...What are the tests that they do for Lupus? I have been going through a lot of stuff for a year or so with no diagnosis. I do have an Immune deficiency, have the some bowel problems, at times my jounts ache (right now they haven't been terrible) fatigue! and one nodule under the skin in my upper thigh, I have had mouth ulcers this year 3 or 4 that take forever to go away. I was told for 4 months that I had a pituitary tumor that turned out I didn't. I have a cough and chest pain. I think taht covers it. Whew! I'm a mess! Anyway... I was wondering if I should stop putting off a trip to the rheumatologist? Is that who dianoses Lupus?
Any suggestions? Thanks! mamu710
