Hi All,
I'm new to this forum as I was just diagnosed with 'mild lupus' today - there was a lot to talk about with my consultant and so little time - as always. It wasn't until the consultation was over was that I wondered what she meant by mild Lupus. I'd had 16 blood tests done at her clinic a month ago - so I suppose something showed up there maybe.
I was diagnosed with APS or Hughes syndrome 7 years ago and had a stoke in May this year - this why I was seeing a consultant at the Lupus Clinic. So I was surprised when she was dictating a letter to my GP saying I was diagnosed with CNS Hughes syndrome and mild Lupus. But there was no time left ask her about this.
I'm left with questions and wondered if anyone here could shed some light. How is mild Lupus diagnosed, what are the symptoms and does it ever turn into SLE?
Would be grateful for any thoughts!
best wishes to all
Jenny
