Nervous!!!

It's been a little over a year since I went to my rheumatalogist. I am really nervous because i haven't been there in so long and I am praying that things are the same with my diagnosis. I was diagnosed with Discoid lupus about 5 years ago. Discoid Lupus is a disease of the skin that causes disc shape lesions on the face, scalp or body. There are 2 types of Lupus DLE (external/skin) and SLE (internal) To learn more about this disease I urge you to go to www.lupus.org and read more about it. Back to my dilemma, I usually have to give a blood sample when I go to the doctor. They usually do an extensive check to make sure that everything is at a normal level in my blood. The last time I had my blood tested I was told that I was boderline SLE. I am hoping that when my doctor tests my blood there are no changes to my diagnosis. Although I am eager to go back to my doctor for treatment. I am also terrified of what they will or won't find in my test results. My appoinment is March 11th at NYU skin and cancer unit. I will update you on my appointment. Wish me luck...
