Hi im 21 from Nottingham, I have had "suspected Lupus" for nearly 6 years, originally when I was in year 8 at secondary school it all started, then after about 3 years my symptoms cleared up and the NHS decided not to continue any tests.
Now after 2 1/2 years of been "clear" I fear that it has all started to come back as many of the same symptoms have started re-arising. However non of the doctors I visit will "waste time" doing any tests for lupus as they said the last tests they did came back "inconclusive" and that it is more likely than not that I dont have it. Not for want of trying to diagnose it after all I went for blood tests every year for 2 years with no joy!!
This however does nothing for my peace of mind after all I am un-diagnosed of any disease/infection that causes the problems I am having and nor the NHS or private doctors seem to be taking me seriously.
Anybody else have any of the same problems with doctors & diagnosis??
