Lupus?? Seriously??

I went back to the dr. yesterday to find out the results of all the testing they did earlier in the week. Apparently some of my bloodwork came back "abnormal" and they wouldn't tell me the results over the phone...........that's always scarey!! I mean SERIOUSLY! Just tell me already you know! Well I had myself thoroughly convinced that it was my thyroid test that was screwed up............it does run the the family..............but lo and behold.............NO............it was the LUPUS test! Or part of it anyway. She is pretty concerned and is sending me to a rheumatologist for more testing. She said said she THOUGHT it was Lupus but she couldn't be sure.......then she told me a story about a man who came in "with symptoms just like yours" and she goes on to say that his test result was just like mine also. She sent him for more testing and "it was one of those one in a million things that no one has ever heard of!" Well THANKS Dr. Smith..........that makes me feel SOOOOO much better!! So final verdict from her is a "rheumatic disease" that affects the joints and muscles but definately NOT Rheumatiod Artherits and most likely Lupus. How's that for a definitive answer?? I know I sound snarky..........and I REALLY am being snarky BUT even with this less that definate diagnosis, at least she found something and didn't just tell me, "You're depressed. Here's a pill......now go away." Which is how I felt my previous dr. treated me. I don't even really KNOW how to explain how I'm feeling right now; scared, anxious, even a bit relieved. Relieved because if there is a possible diagnosis then there is something that can be done about it!
