This weekend was the first sunny weekend and I went out on a roadtrip with my mom and within 10 minutes of being out in the sun I had a bad flare-up. VERY achy joints, the malar rash developed when I was in the sun, and when I got sunburned I had red, circle patches, low grade fever, chest pain with deep breathes, I could go on but I don't wanna write too much. I've had these problems since I was little, I'm 16 now and it's taken ages for me to finally be diagnosed with an Autoimmune disease, after going to the doctors and being tested for ages and my test results always coming back negative. My question is does this sound like Lupus? And if so, should I ask my rhuematologist to test me for it? Thanks so much in advance.
