I was diagnosed 2 months ago by a dermatologist who did a biopsy on the bold patches on my head. She started me a month ago on Plaquenil. I am very grateful to have found this community that helps me understand lupus a bit better. Wishing you all better health..

@A MyLupusTeam Member Sorry you had to go through that. My rheumy said my symptoms all signs lupus but it’s not showing up in my blood work and wanted to get a kidney biospy to confirm but my nephrologist won’t biopsy until it gets worst. She then goes on to state that all my symptoms indicated lupus. Waiting to see my rhuemy

Thank you ladies for sharing your experience

@A MyLupusTeam Member did it take that long because it wasn’t showing up in your blood
