I have DLE and feel like it could turn to SLE

Hi there

I was diagnosed with DLE 6months ago. I’ve recently gotten some pains in my stomach. It feel like it’s just below or under my ribs. I’m feeling a bit worried that this might mean that I have systematic lupus as well. I know the best option is go to see my rheumatologist and get more blood tests done but in the mean time if anybody has any advice or info on this it would really be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

    Hi,

    From the research I have done it seems that DLE does not lead to SLE, whereas people with SLE can develop DLE.

    I hope that helps, but it would be a good idea for you to check the dedicated Lupus websites, including this site. They have a wealth of information that you will find useful.

    Lupus sufferers are of course still subject to many unrelated illnesses so it's best to speak to your doctor or specialist.

    Best wishes
