DO YOU KNOW THE SIGNS OF LUPUS
Butterfly-shaped rash
Raised red patches on your skin
You're sensitive to light
Ulcers in your mouth or nose
Arthritis in two or more joints, plus swelling or tenderness
Inflammation in the lining of your heart or lungs
Seizures or other nerve problems
Too much protein in your urine
Low blood cell counts

Results from a blood test called an ANA test suggest you may have too many "antinuclear" antibodies
If you think you or someone you know is displaying at least four of these symptoms, it’s time to talk to a medical provider about your concerns. Your primary care provider can examine you and your health history and refer you to a rheumatology specialist for further diagnosis.
