I'm new also with Lupus. Yes I also have a thyroid problem but I can't remember what the tsh is. I will respond when I find out. I wnt to my first meeting about Lupus. Lots of people with thyroid problem. I was also curious. Why? and How? did this come about. Another thing at least once a month I come down with the chills, can't get warm but no temp. I laughingly say "I feel like I have malaria". Funny thing - the medicine that this lupus group is taking is a medicine used for malaria. I'm not on medicine,yet, alergic to it. It has quinine in it. I just was diagnosed in May and I take vyoxx for the inflammatory arthritis. My blood type is B. Does anyone with this type blood have Lupus. I know that sounds like I'm reaching and your right I am
