Thanks Laura! I never would've thought about the toenails -- I've always just been able to leave my socks on even when I had to get undressed, so I don't even think about that. I don't know why I care so much, I'm sure that the doctors see way worse. Though I guess in general you want to avoid being the break room anecdote of the day!
I know you've said that your doctor isn't actually positive that you have lupus -- what symptoms/test results made him give you the tentative diagnosis? I've been reading about the diagnostic criteria for lupus and my head is swimming.
