Are you able to get another doctor? I know here in Ontario Canada it’s very difficult…practically Impossible. If not, I hate to say this, but I think you have to find A way to accept and give it your very best to have a positive outlook. Another opinion by a specialist would be optimal though. We share in so many illnesses! I have the dry eye, the dry Mouth, face rashes… I Don’t have any thyroid issues, but I have
Lichen planus on my privates, etc… i’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. sending prayers!

Have u been diagnosed with lupus? If u research older women with lupus…you will find the symptoms are not as severe, and…usually no malar rash. Just other rashes.
I do understand lupus is difficult to diagnosis sometimes because of crossover symptoms of other autoimmune diseases. However, I believe many rheumatologist look at that national criteria and if you don’t meet it, then they diagnose you as negative they don’t think for themselves or bother to research the symptoms that might not be as common with lupus. They simply take a list by the national criteria and check you off and dismiss you if you don’t come close . That’s not a good clinician that’s not thinking outside the box and that’s not trying to help folks that don’t have a blatant diagnosis of lupus
