wow - talk about beating you while you're down!

My ex-sister-in-law had lupus for a long time. She did end up getting a kidney transplant 20's, that helped her live a semi-normal life. Keep us posted on what they find out for sure.

Lupus has been tossed around for me as well. They stopped pursuing that once the lymphoma came into the picture. Once this is resolved then they will take a look at the Lupus again...sigh. Either way...I'll beat it. You will too. :) If we have Lupus...we can manage it. We should be capable of dealing with Lupus better than ever after beating cancer,,,no? lol

There are four kinds of Lupus. People can live long healthy lives with Lupus..it's not a death sentence. You learn to live with it. This site will answer most all of your questions!

Systemic Lupus is what they think I have :)

Is it a Rheumatolgist who suggests this? This probably the least of your worries at the moment, but it would be best to check with a specialist I think. They do a lot for Lupus patients these days, do try not to add more stress! Hang on!

Thank you everyone!! I am getting through it okay and so far the test is negative!! They are testing me for so many things I can't even count let alone name them lol. I will keep you all updated.
