How would I know if i have Lupus?


I keep meaning to go the doctor and get a blood test but recently I've been busy. All of my father's sisters have Lupus and I've heard that the men carry the disease and pass it down to there daughters. Are there any symptoms of Lupus that maybe i can look out for before I go the doctors?

I have had lupus for several years and there are a variety of symptoms including pain, fatigue, sores, etc.. These symptoms are shared with many other autoimmune diseases, however. I would recommend talking to your doctor, especially since you have a family history of lupus, because it is something that should be monitored closely.

If you would like more information on lupus, please take a look at the Lupus Foundation of America's website: http://www.lupus.org

I also have a blog about dealing with chronic illness: http://www.chronicsunshine.com

Wish you the best!

you need to have you blood test first they are symptoms but they could mean other things too a blood test would rule out most other things

You'd be sick as a dog all the time with flu like symptoms.
