I was dXd and have tested positive for lupus, RA , Fibromyalgia and raynaulds disease. I have developed a "bullseye" rash which has spread ALL over.

My rhummy wouldn't see me and referred me to my primary who diagnosed lyme disease, pending blood test results.

My questions...has anyone else had both diseases? Is it possible that I have lyme disease instead or can lupus cause a widespread rash, resembling lyme disease? Any ideas?
