My mother is suffering from sle lupus stage 3 and 5 .. i want to discuss about her medication and her reports with a s.l.e. lupus specialist?

Best would be to start with your mother's rheumatologist/ lupus specialist. If not established locally, her primary care doc will be able to refer to a local lupus/ rheumatology center. In case needed a second opinion may be obtained as well.
