- Something I worry about. My rheumatologist just came out of medical school. He's very young. And I'm afraid that he doesn't understand Lupus. Hell, not many people do understand the disease. It's going to take a long time for him to finally know, and an even longer time for the world to finally get Lupus.
"Am I going to die?"
- I think we all think this because we're scared. But I have mild Lupus and that is not supposed to kill me. But I think it's normal to think that... But at the same time I hate myself for thinking that way because there are people who are worse off than myself. I mean...how could I be so selfish?
i'm currently undergoing tests to determine whether or not i have lupus, so i get where you're coming from. my ana was negative, but i have an astounding number of the symptoms and am working on getting an appointment with a rheumatologist. hang in there. you are not the only one dealing with how scary and unnerving it all is.
