Hello All,
I've noticed on this site that quite a few of you have Lupus too, how do you differentiate between the two, is Lupus diagnosed by blood test? It seems to have very similar symptoms to fibro.
Thanks,

Hi again,
Once you've had a fibro diagnosis is it a good idea to have a Lupus blood test too, as the symptoms are similar. I've read some info on it and am unsure whether to discuss this with my doc.
Thanks, Lucy xx
Most doctors will do blood work and check your ana and for inflammation you could ask to have it checked.
