hello there... Im in a quandry.. Ive been reading about how difficult it is to diagnose lupus. Ive been having a whole heap of relevent symptoms, fevers,fatigue,photo sensitivity,rashes sweats,sores in my nose and mouth,headaches.etc etc. So far Ive been diagnosed with temporal arteritis, on the grounds of a blood sediment rate of 70 and (as the doc put it) a false negative arterial biopsy result. What do I do to make them take note? I'm so glad that I've found a message board that I can have a good old fashioned moan at with people who understand. help me please.

Instead of floundering around in a mass of symptoms, Im going to take your advice, keep a record,list my problems and get the tests you suggest. It's the first time I've felt that I have a focus and a goal.When you just sit back and wallow in whats been going on (as I admit I've let myself do) you lose focus. Right thats going to stop!I'm gonna kick ass and get myself pro-active..I can do this! You've helped a stranger to lift herself out of the slough of despond tonight. well done and thank you again.take care.1 - 2 of 4 Posts
