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

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.
