How do you know if you have lupus?
12 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See a Rheumatologist: If you suspect you might have lupus see a rheumatologist. Diagnosis is based on symptoms, history, physical exam and laboratory tests. The earlier you get diagnosed the sooner you can get the proper treatment.

Complicated: Lupus is a difficult diagnosis to make. It would be hard to diagnose yourself with lupus. It may be best to see a rheumatologist if you are concerned about this diagnosis.
