A member asked:

Should i go see a doctor if i am developing symptoms of lupus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely: If you believe you may have lupus you need to have lab work done to check for autoantibodies related to lupus and other connective tissue disorders. Depending on the symptoms and lab results you may need to consult a rheumatologist.
