I might also try talking to another doctor. I don't have lupus but I have read a lot about it. I no longer trust my ob/gyn to actually much of anything about hormones and how they affect the whole body, the whole person. I see a naturopathic medical doctor who treats just like a regular medical doctor except he is also a hormonal specialist and sees the whole person--he knows more than any internist, gyn, or endocrinologist I have ever been to. Hot flashes have always destroyed my life but we have worked with compounded hormones and I think I am finally getting some relief. I would get a second opinion.
