Well, that sounds just awful! What a jerk!! whats the deal with all the crappy doctors?? I agree, you can have Lupus without having those three symptoms! Very frustrating!! I'd suggest waiting until your blood work comes in. Be sure to have them send/fax you a cope of ALL the blood tests they did and what the results are. I'm waiting for a copy of mine that I had done last week and then I can tell you the names of the actual blood tests. How did this dr explain the swelling that you get? Fibro does NOT cause swelling!!
