Call doctor back and get back in so you ask your questions. Contact the nurses line and say you have questions and they are very important to you. After all, we're just the patients. I have systemic scleraderma with my Lupus. But mine is attacking my stomach. Have had 4 bleeds in 2.5 years. Last one was in February. Was diagnosed after my first bleed 3 years ago where my gastrointerologist found I have watermelon stomach.

Please feel free to message me. Praying for you. Not an easy diagnosis at all.
