Wow---that would be a shock to be diagnosed with Lupus, when you were getting a blood test for something unrelated. I am so sorry, but am glad you found EmpowHer!
I wanted to share a few resources with you, as this is a wonderful place to talk with other women online. If you are interested in meeting others who have been diagnosed with Lupus in your local community, there are support groups available.
Many other women who have been diagnosed with Lupus have shared their stories on EmpowHer, and you can read their stories by clicking here.
You can also read some information about Lupus, specifically some Tips for New Patients.
Take care, and we look forward to talking with you again. I would also be interested in learning how your other relatives are managing their autoimmune disorders, both physically and emotionally.
