These are symptoms that I have. Many people with have other symptoms. From what I've learned there are a variety of things that go wrong. Some have conditions that leave the doctors dumbfounded.  This is why so many with SLE have a hard time getting diagnosed. There are very few doctors, from my experience, that understand a lot about lupus. If you feel that you have lupus you should keep looking for doctors that do understand the disease.  It took me about 10 years to get diagnosed, and have to go through it every time I change doctors.
