Lupus Diagnosis question by §??‹(•¿•)›?»-(¯`v´¯)-»\: My doctor won't make a clinical diagnosis for Lupus & I don't test out. What can I do?
I have 9 of the 11 indicators of Lupus. I just cannot "pass" the blood tests.
My gyno thinks I definitely have Lupus, but my rheumy don't make the diagnosis for lack of laboratory results.
My gyno told me to file for disability, but I am afraid I will need verified lab tests to get anyone to listen to me.
What can I do?

Answer by Jessica
Ma'am your doctor is wasting your time.You suspect you have lupus and they are doing NOTHING.What i suggest is to find a doctor that will actually LISTEN,UNDERSTAND AND HEAR what you say, because your current doctor is not giving you what you actually need.Do what ever you can to get those medical papers passed. Because your health is at SERIOUS RISK.

Lupus is an auto immune disease which means that the body's immune system attacks its own tissue. The result of these attacks is chronic inflammation and although the severity of Lupus can vary greatly, it can ultimately be a fatal disease. Lupus is a condition where the immune system creates anti bodies, which circulate in the blood stream and attack various tissues and organs in the body. Some times only the tissue of the skin is affected but in other cases the internal organs become targeted. Cases where only skin tissue is affected is called discoid lupus, but the more pervasive and serious form is referred to as systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE for short. SLE commonly attacks the heart, lungs, kidneys, joints and nervous system.
Systemic lupus erythematosus has an unpredictable evolution. People with the disease can experience short periods of symptomatic remission between episodes of symptomatic intensification. Most lupus treatments are focused upon extending the periods of remission and on ameliorating the symptoms of the disease. Although there is no effective cure for lupus, most medical treatments can keep the disease under control. However, due to the pronounced chronic character of the disease, patients require ongoing lupus treatment.
Lupus can affect almost any part of your body, including your joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. There is no way to know what part of your body will be affected. For most people though, lupus are a mild disease affecting only a few parts of your body, and some patients don't get inner organ problems (like in the heart and lungs), but do have skin and joint problems.
The treatment of lupus greatly differs from a patient to another, lupus sufferers receiving a certain type of medications according to their experienced symptoms and the seriousness of the disease. Thus, the treatment of lupus is often personalized, comprising many different types of medications and therapies. Lupus patients (especially patients diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus) are commonly administered combination treatments, targeted at countering the occurrence and aggravation of the multitude of symptoms characteristic to this type of autoimmune disease.
Treatment options for Lupus have come a long way in the past ten years. There was a time when a systemic lupus diagnosis came with a three year life expectancy. Today, lupus is not expected to end in termination of life, but living with the chronic pain and the difficulties are tremendously difficult and even terrifying. Lupus is a sneaky disease, traveling from one part of the body to another seeking out "enemy intruders" that are nothing more than normal bodily organs. A confused immune system can do a lot of damage, and learning to cope with the inconsistent and blind siding pain is a daily struggle.
The natural ingredients used to make this medicine make it free from side effects. By using this medicine you will be able to get rid of the discomforts of Lupus without sacrificing your health. You will also be able to lead a trouble free life by avoiding the side effects that are common to other medications such as stomach upset, liver and kidney inflammation, weight gain, weakened bones, damage to arteries and high blood pressure.
About the Author
Your parents were correct - eating a diet rich in vitamins, especially Vitamin E, is not only healthy: it's essential if you have lupus disease. For a number of lupus disease patients, eating foods and pills high in Vitamin E keeps their lupus symptoms under control or helps with nasty flare ups. Choose nuts, oils, and leafy green veggies for maximum impact.

A new study shows that vitamin D deficiency could be linked to the development and severity of certain autoimmune lung diseases.

u made me cry…wow im 19 years old and i was diagnosed with lupus in 2006 and ever since then its been a crazy tough 4 years of my life ive been through so much but i just pray and hope nothing else happens the lupus has attacked my lungs so its very hard for me to breath but you have been though alot and thank you for your story and God bless you and stay strong
I lost part of my sight to LUPUS in 2009. I was diagnosed after I had my son in 2005. God Bless
I can really relate to what your saying. I have a lot of physical problems, all over my body. Doctors are not helping me, they cant ever seem to find out whats wrong. Its so frustrating because I know something is wrong and they dont seem to take me seriously because I’m so young.
I have so many of these symptoms. My bones are in a lot of pain, I’m weak and in bed all the time (I’m only 22), I have a major bladded infection. I want to get tested for lupus, but I heard its hard to diagnose. I’ve been sick for a while.
Well, I don’t know about you, but my family didn’t listen to me when I was 8, when I first started getting “symptoms”. Today, I’ve gone through 3 professionals, 5 doctors, and 2 psychiatrists, and I’m REALLY sure I have lupus, but my Lupus panel was all negative, which don’t mean anything, I know. It’s just frustrating, and I don’t know what to do anymore…I’m still waiting for my last heavy metal tox screen, sed rate AGAIN, tsh AGAIN. In the middle of a flare up right now, just pissy…
ur such an inspiration. i honestly wish u the best and i’m so sorry for ur pain and suffering. and btw ur beautiful
I too have lupus so I would like to learn from others. Plz see my vid.
Gosh…I feel like Im looking at myself! Except I did not know until 43..Thank you for sharing. Lisa gaines
you have been through alot in life, pretty inspiring. amazing
Also, (ran out of room in the previous comment) I do agree with natural medicine/remedies whenever possible and/or in conjunction with traditional. I love that you advocate for that as I believe it’s better to replenish the body, nurture it… and want to thank you for posting about this. And I do advocate people trying acupuncture.. they definitely should see if it will work for them before going on other treatment!
Thanks Kim, a lot of lupus patients have tried this & for mild lupus it is sometimes helpful, However for more severe lupus re: organ involvement, overlapping diseases, due to layers of systemic disease throughout the body, organs, it has proven to not be as successful. Some patients do say they get some relief with but that it is short lived.. however, they also say, “If we could just go every day it would be GREAT” So I agree there’s some benefits but not a cure for organ involvement etc..
I am 41 years old and I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (also an autoimmune disease).
I was treated with acupuncture and no longer experience any pain or auto immune health issues.
Please consider seeking traditional chinese medicine/acupuncture for your health concerns.
I hope this helps you.
WOW you’ve gone through a lot! I have a complicated story like yours but Im ONLY 24… going on 25 @ the end of the year. and was diagnosed @ age 7
You’re an inspiration. As always.
You’re so sweet… thank you. I love you

Great video…I never get tired of watching your video’s and I always learn something new..
xoxoxo
Thanks David! I will check it out!
I don’t know if any of you happened to catch the last part of Geraldo Rivera’s show today, but there was a Doctor interviewed who talked about Michael Jackson’s Lupus and that all the nose surgeries were because of his lupus as well as his skin problems…
I don’t usually watch much on Fox, but as I was flipping through the channels it caught my eye…His show repeats tomorrow if you are interested in watching, you’ll have to check your local listings for the time…
Great video Michele…
Thank you so much.
