Just wondering if anyone can help me, i was admitted to hospital this week with an unexplained sudden tremor in my hands and arms, I have had several blood tests all negative but have been told they are now doing an autoimmune screening for lupus as I was already having investigations for joint pain, swelling and stiffness in my hands and a rash on my chest, although I haven’t got a facial rash.

I already have hypothyroidism, diabetes and syjrogens syndrome... is it likely that I could have Lupus. I know I should just wait but it drive me mad....

    just wanna tell you should keep calm. Lupus is uneasy to diagnose, your doctor can offer many types of tests before having an accurate diagnosis. More anxiety only worsens your condition. If the result is positive with lupus, your doctor will prescribe some medications and supplement that can help relieve lupus symptoms and control lupus flares. Reducing stress and avoiding triggers are very important if you have lupus. On a whole, there's no accurate diagnosis now, you should keep your mind at ease. Hope you get better soone and hear  your good news
