All I remember is that when I was really sick and had my first full panel blood draw, I was tested for Lyme's first, then RA, Leukemia, then Lupus. It was a process of elimination between my GP and hematologist.

So sorry to hear that you are going through all that. It's probably all lupus related or medication related. I got neutropenic ( low white blood cells and clotting factors for awhile)- it was related to the methotrexate I was on. I had to wait a few weeks before restarting it. I get labs every month now instead of every 3 months.

@A MyLupusTeam Member Lyme can mimic lupus, trigger lupus, become lupus.

Wow! Thank you for sharing this information. I just think it’s odd how fuzzy diagnosing Lyme disease is. I might ask my primary doctor about these tests. I will also check out the links you sent. Thanks again!
