   <p><inline-mention username="Joel Knight" user-id="6658709"/> It can definitely come as a shock being diagnosed. I hope that your doctor has discussed what to expect and possible treatment plans. When I was diagnosed there was so much going on so I didn&#39;t have to wait for symptoms. But I would say now that your doctor suspects lupus talk with him about the next steps to begin to minimize symptoms and keep you as healthy as you can while dealing with lupus. Good luck we are here if you need clarification or have questions. ~Racquel~ <a href='http://lupus.net' target='_blank'>lupus.net</a> team member</p>
