I AM A WOMAN 48 YRS. OLD AND WAS RECENTLY TOLD FROM A RECENT CBC THAT I HAVE LUPUS. I WAS SHOCKED AT THE NEWS BUT QUICKLY DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO PLAN ON HOW I CAN HANDLE MY LIFE WITH THIS DISEASE AND NOT LET IT MAKE A DRASTIC CHANGE IN MY LIFE. i HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE SYMPTOMS WITH THIS DISEASE AND FOUND I DO HAVE MOST OF THE SYMPTOMS LISTED. I LATER WAS TOLD THAT “NOT TO WORRY” ABOJUT THIS BECAUSE IT WAS A FALSE POSITIVE. FEEL BETTER? NO, BECAUSE I DO HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS THAT WON’T BE ADDRESSED NOW UNLESS I PLAY DOCTOR AND PURSUE THE DISEASE AS A POSITIVE BLOOD TEST AND TRY TO IMPROVE MY SYMPTOMS THE BEST I KNOW HOW. ANY SUGGESTIONS? I AM HYPOTHYROID AND HAVE BEEN “DIGNOSED” WITH FIBROMYALGIA.
