I was diagnosed yesterday with SLE. The diagnosis was based on my symptoms and blood results from my G.P. I had a steroid injection there and then. Ive had bloods taken, chest xray, abdo scan, eye test and started taking Plaquenil - all this within 24hrs. Ive got to go back in two weeks for my results.
I went to my G.P. three weeks ago - my first visit to him in six years as I dont get ill!! He immediately thought autoimmune diesease and sent me for bloods. Im obviously very lucky to have a G.P. who is so on the ball.
I just want to thank the moderators and members of site for putting together such a wonderful resource. Ive learnt so much here over the last few weeks and am Im feeling really positive about the diagnosis.
