Hello Jeannem,
Here's a link for the top Rheum's in your area and also Dermo's as both these treat Lupus but the Dermo is for skin issues. :)

Hi Jeannem,
I know by now you probably have found a dr. but I thought I would check just in case. I was recently diagnosed in Dec. 2014. I finally found a great dr. after years of not feeling well and seeing several different rheumys. Unfortunately for me only my ana would test positive so all the drs. would say no to autoimmune. Until I found dr. craine who saw how sick I was and ordered a lumbar puncture, I finally received some answers. Dr. craine is wonderful. If you still are looking for someone in the chicago area just let me know and I'll give you his info. I hope your doing well.
Hugs,
Reddog
Hi reddog, was curious if you could forward Dr. Craines info to me. I live in the south suburbs of Chicago. I am willing to find someone who is really concerned weather or not I am getting good treatment. I have already been with two rheumy's but they did not listen to my issues.
Thank you,
Minxie
