Positive ANA And CK Of 277, Red Flat Rashes On Nose, Cheeks, Fatigue, Protein In Urine, Muscle Pain, Swelling In Legs. Have Fibromyalgia. Possible Lupus?

I have positive ANA and CK of 277, red flat rash on nose and cheeks, mouth and nose ulcers , fatigue, protein in urine, have muscular pain, swelling and warmth, weight gain, swollen legs, and the rheumatologist doesn't want to admit that I have lupus. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 15 years ago, but everything is much worse, and new symptoms keep showing up. Should I get a second opinion?

Rheumatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Your description seems to fit into a diagnosis of lupus, unless you have read about it and exaggerated your symptoms. But I think if you really have had all this, you better take a second opinion from another Rheumatologist, since all these symptoms and signs occur in Lupus. Thank you.
