I do indeed know about lupus. I was tested for that too at mayo clinic. I have 4 auto immune diseases, all related. I had savings from my parents as they knew I was sick. Unfortunately I could never get health insurance at all because of these pre-existing conditions. The medical situation robbed me of all two generations saved, for, and the security of my future in this home. It took 4 years for me to qualify. I had issues of # of quartes worked. During my life I had a home business, and worked my scedule around my health issues, and my parents care and deaths. There were quarters missing, and of course that took more investigating and questions on why that quarter was missing. I was in a trial study for many years.
I am sorry you are dealing with lupus. What are you currently doing to help the course of this illness? Were you treated with auto immunosupressants?
Please do keep in touch with me. These things we have are related.
I have medicare/medicaid, but I may not be able to keep my home. We sure get nailed with trouble in life don't we? Take care of yourself. ginnie
