Advice please!!

I have recently been diagnosed with small fibre neuropathy. I have also had a positive ANA blood test 1:320, my hair is like straw, and underneath my fringe my hair is snapping off, my body aches, my wee has blood in with no infection and smells funny, I have extreme tiredness, and days where I just can't do anything. My sister has lupus, but the neurologist says it's not worth referring me to the rheumatologist as lupus isn't genetic. Should I push for an appointment with the rheumatologist? I feel like crap most of the time and my body feels like giving up. Please could I have people's opinion.
Thankyou

My name is Tanya and I have Discoid Lupus. It affects the skin; my forehead to be exact. I have not had a positive ANA (thank God) but I am taking medications. I was told that it is Genetic, maybe only the Discoid Lupus. However, I think you should see a rheumatologist more sooner than later; just to make sure.
I hope you feel better.
