Unsure if I have lupus

Wondering if someone could tell me if I should get checked for lupus. I have been having weird symptoms.

Hi,

You need to discuss your symptoms with your doctor and ask for a 'Lupus panel' blood tests. Depending on the results you may be referred to a Rheumatologist. They are the specialists! Forum members can only advise and support you. We can also share our experience with you.

Best wishes

HI Abbey

Lupus is a very difficult illness to diagnose and is a great mimic of other illnesses.  As you've not put what 'weired' symptoms you're having, then I doubt anyone would be able to suggest what your next steps would be.  Go and see your GP and discuss your symptoms and ask for full blood works to include: CRP, ESR, ANA, anti dsDNA, RA factor, Vit D etc etc

Hope you get to the bottom if this.
