Hi! I was diagnosed in Nov 2011 with sle and it took having my family Dr send me to a cancer Dr ( they were thinking Leukemia) then the cancer Dr said the only sign of sle was my low white blood count but he did believe I had sle so he refered me to a rheumatologist who then confirmed the lupus and has put me on meds to help, I have been feeling better for the past month (it was a very rough climb to get here). But my family Dr is still not convinced that I have sle, so I would suggest maybe a second opinion or pressing him to refer you to a rheumatologist even to just ease your mind.View Thread
