See rheumatologist: The presence of mouth ulcers suggests that your problem may be from other forms of autoimmune disease than lupus.

Possibly: Mouth ulcers are not uncommon in lupus. With your clinical presentation, lupus is a major possibility. See a rheumatologist if you have not done so already.
