Hi @dmkmom04, and I want to echo @hopeful33250's welcome! I'd also encourage you to check out https://clinicaltrials.gov/ to learn more about clinic opportunities. I'm also tagging @salena54, @johnwburns and @aimeenc who have all talked about lupus and/or autoimmune diseases.

Here is some additional information on Lupus from Mayo Clinic: http://mayocl.in/1o2QJkY. Have you consulted with your physician about this?

Yes, I am an RN and have known I had some auto immune symptoms and my Rheumatologist 3 yrs ago said inconclusive back then. The last 1 1/2 yrs had short term memory loss and had MRI confirm brain atrophy and right frontal lobe atrophy....neurologist had no explanation. I did research and saw correlation between brain atrophy and Lupus. I guess tomorrow will have labs back. Should shed light on some things. This is the worst I have ever felt.
Thank you for your feedback and e info .... I will check out clinical trials. God bless you!

Thank you, Alyse. My name is Denise btw.
I work as RN case manager but have not yet come across many families with the extensive family autoimmune history as mine.
I appreciate any feedback I can get.
