Q: Hypothyroidism and Lupus
asked by: Roberta777 on July 2nd, 2009

A good friend has a daughter who had seizures and awoke to find herself black and blue. She has been treated for Hypothyroidism in the past. What is the connection with that diagnosis and the possibility of Lupus?

She has undergone an MRI and there is nothing to indicate a serious problem.

Do tests show if she does have Lupus?

Thanks. rainbow

Yes, there are blood tests the doctor can do to check for Lupus.

Hi Wendyrs,

She has undergone a lot more tests and they have not defined what is wrong.

Thanks,

Roberta
