Interesting comments and suggestions. Ebbie, I would like to hear more of the reasons (symptoms) you were tested for lupus. I have a maternal cousin who has lupus and and I am somewhat concerend about my "symptoms". Also, I would like to learn about the treatments... and anything else. Web searches are okay, but talking with someone you trust about their experience is far more reliable and believable.

By PM, or by a new thread (preferred, as that would be of benefit to far more people)... if you have the time and wish to do so, of course. Of course, if you can direct us to a site which you know of, and you trust will garner us the info we seek, perhaps that is a better way to go.
