I had my appointment with another rhumy this morning.
He was quite thorough and answered most of my questions. But as I was so incredibly nervous and seriously not thinking straight I forgot to ask him so many questions. Also, I think he got a little annoyed with some of my questions :blush:
In the end he diagnosed me with "very mild lupus". He was unsure whether there was any organ involvement, but he did notice that my knees were very swollen. He also said that i have discoid lupus on the scalp.
He has suggested I go on a week long course of steroids (forgot to ask him why), and then to begin 400mg plaquenil everyday.
I was hoping that I had been misdiagnosed, but now that I know the facts I'm going to try and get to fixing myself as much as I can
A quick thank you again to all those people who have supported, advised and put up with me these last few weeks. Also thank you for all the shoulders that have been offered to cry on
