There's a not insignificant number of people who think they have lupus who, in reality, most likely do not, to the point where lupus has become something of a meme.
It's characteristic of autoimmune disorders to be absolute pains to diagnose correctly as well as they often share symptoms with other disorders and entirely unrelated conditions (e.g. if you keep getting rashes that could be any number of autoimmune disorders or none at all, and more likely to be some environmental allergy than lupus).
