My parents keep calling me a hypochondriac, but how can i tell if this is lupus?

See the doctor!: Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder with characteristic laboratory and clinical features. These can easily be put together by a specialist in rheumatology, or an astute primary care physician. If you have questions, see your doctor. You need to have your concerns addressed.
