Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Marker for SLE: Systemic lupus erythematosus can exist without a positive test result but a positive result =SLE. This is not a happy Dx, but some people are well managed by good treatment and compliance w/ recommendations for how to live. A specialist Health Psychologist is often a great asset in learning how to deal w/ the condition and symptoms that can include and/or cause emotional problems. Best!
