Hi there I am also a new member today and trying to find my way around this site. I am a borderline case at the moment and have just taken some more blood tests (this time to check antibodies and dna).
sorry to hear you are feeling rough - can't understand why they have not given you something for the pain.

Hello Angelscry and welcome

If I understand rightly, they diagnosed you with lupus and then sent you on your way with no follow up? no treatment? no referral to a rheumatologist?

That sounds very odd to me indeed. You need to see someone about the symptoms you are having and see what you can do to help relieve them. There are lots of treatment options though it can take a while to find which one suits you best. Can you ask your GP for a referral to a rheumatologist?

bye for now,
Katharine

:welcome: Angelscry i am the same as katharine why have you no medication
if they know that you have lupus did they not start you on palquiene or pain meds.Can you not get something from your own doctor as he must know that you will need pain relief of some kind.Keep us posted on how you go Elisabeth
