Hi there, I am 29 years old and am in the process of being tested for lupus. This testing has been going on for about 3 months and my doctor is fairly sure it is lupus.

The confusing part is... I only have the skin related symptoms... Rash on my chest, round circular sores on my arms, fingers... And more recently the bottoms of my feet, face, arms, and stomach. They didn't used to itch and now they do a bit. I also seem to have a bit of sun sensitivity.

Now, it gets more confusing because my blood tests reflect anemia, low white blood cell count and various other things that indicate lupus. I also have had a positive ana test.

I am hoping that it is just the skin type lupus but the blood & ana tests show otherwise. I am so confused and scared and hoping to learn a lot from this website and maybe find another person with a similar story.

So glad you all are here!
