I've had poor circulation for a while and it got really bad so I went to the my doctor. He ran a blood test to check for lupus. It came back negative but I was curious about lupus so I did some research...And I have a lot of the symptoms that i've read about. Butterfly rash on face, poor circulation, fatigue, being cold a lot, depression, joint pain, and swollen glands. However, I don't have an extreme reaction to light, a decrease in appetite/weight loss (i'm bulimic so maybe that accounts for that), or a cronic fever.

I've also read that many people are diagnosed as not having lupus when in fact they have lupus. Should I check into this more? I feel like a hypocondriac. Could I have lupus even though whatever blood tests they ran came back negative?
