Need some opinions

I have lupus and I’m new here. I keep having these insane symptoms and I need to know what’s going on with me! I’m so confused! Is this what it’s posed to feel like

  1. Hi, and welcome! I wish you didn't have need of a community like this one, but I am glad you found us.


    Being newly diagnosed can be a really overwhelming time and almost every member of this community has been where you are right now. I guess I assumed you are newly diagnosed, but perhaps you have had Lupus for some time now? Are you getting treatment for you symptoms and seeing a doctor regularly?


    I have learned that when it comes to autoimmune conditions like Lupus, almost any symptom is possible (with a few notable exceptions). Here's some information on the most common Lupus symptoms a person may experience -- https://lupus.net/symptoms. What particular symptoms are you dealing with right now?


    Also, I wanted to share a compilation of community members tips for the newly diagnosed that you might find helpful -- https://lupus.net/living/newly-diagnosed-tips. Please know you are not alone in this! We're here for you, so don't hesitate to reach out with more questions, should you have any.
