Does anyone on here suffer from Lupus?



My mother and sister have both been diagnosed with lupus. I went for a couple of blood tests which came back negative but I still have the blisters under my eyes when I get run down so I'm not convinced I haven't got it! I understand it is hard to diagnose but I need to know for sure cos I have kids and I want to know if they need testing.

my sister has lupus that is in remission right now and has been for years- thankfully. it took a long time for the blood tests to show it but all the symptoms were there. i would be cautious with the sun and watch my body's reactions to any and everything until i knew for sure.
