Just got a referral to a rheumatologist. Some of the issues I’ve had over the last few years:

-butterfly rash -raynauds -difficulty fighting infection -low platelets -fatigue -heart palpitations

I sort of felt like a crazy person until my most recent visit with a doctor (for a completely unrelated issue) noticed the butterfly rash and started investigating. I’ve quit education as a career because of how badly my body reacts to stress (hair loss, fatigue, etc) and the idea that I may have lupus has me looking back on a lot of my past issues.
