Autoimmune disease.

As some of you know I've been unwell a couple of times over the last couple of years seemingly without reason.
Anyways they've done a shed load of tests recently which have been coming back in dribs and drabs.
The most recent ones have had a number of results that suggest some of my antibodies are trying to do me in.
Lupus looks like a contender.
Has anyone had to deal with such things?
(Feeling healthy and chipper currently

No experience or advice, but good to hear you're chipper, and fingers crossed the miracles of modern medicine can sort you out!

Dee's SiL has / had Lupus. It went undiagnosed for a long time but she's now on medication for it, like a totally different person and lives a perfectly normal life.

Lupus?
Is that the one where you grow hair, big teeth and claws every time it's a full moon?

Is there a chance it could be Lymes disease Rich? It can manifest in so many different ways and is regularly mis-diagnosed by medicos.

Absolutely no ideas but wish you the very best.
I just remember it always seemed to be an option in every other House episode. Though basing any advice on that would seem foolish
