Q: Lupus Or Fibro?

Hi, my name is jamie. About four years ago I started getting a mystery rash, and after a few times of having it came to the concllusion it had to be from the sun. I went to my doctor and he had the same conclusion. I asked him about sle since lupus was one of the very few things that go with photosensitivity and it runs in my family. I went through the bloodwork, and had about 5 of the 11 symptoms, but my blood work all came back ok so he sent me to a few websites, and told me in his oppinion I had lupus, and if I have anymore outbreaks or new symptoms to come in and get checked. Well, we moved about six months ago and I started having alot of joint pain so I went to a new doctor and he is now saying I have fibro instead of lupus. My symptoms are butterfly rash, photosensitivity,seizures, canker sores,plurisy, and now joint inflamation. I am thinking I need to get a second oppinion, but I can never find a doctor that listens. Any suggestions?
