If you see another rheumatologist for a second opinion they well might consider you to have lupus and treat you more aggressively.
You are suffering enough symptoms to deserve further workup. It might help to see a university med center based dermatologist for testing and input to your rheumatologist.
That’s quite helpful. I have similar numbers as Carolinely2000, except my symptoms are not typical. No fatigue, no muscle or joint pain, skin pretty good right now….I hope my Neurologist can help me in discussion with my Rheumatologist. ENT says I should discuss my taste issue with Rheumatologist, (Smell has recently improved a lot.)
