It is diagnosed by checking your ANA levels. You have to go to a RA DR. You have to tell your Dr. about all your symptoms no matter how insignificant you might think they are. If you have red/green/purple bruises and you know you didn't hit the bed or anything to cause them. If your hands or skin is constantly itching as if you are allergic to something with no relief and start to scab. constant joint pain and swelling. White moles or spots are a sign of Lupus
