Hi kerry and welcome

Invisible illnesses are always hard to prove unfortunately.
You say that you are on a lot of medication, what have the doctors prescibed this for ?
Is it possible that the medication you take masks your problems and leads your GP to you having a drink problem ? You should talk to your GP about this posibility
What makes you think you have Lupus ?
Are you getting any help with your MH issues ?

Please come back and talk to us so that we can point you in the right direction
