If you don't offer a 'no' option, you won't know whether people who read the poll don't have the pain or just didn't feel like voting. It's 'no' for me.

The poll allows more than one selection. In your case just select "Check here if you have been diagnosed with Lupus" but skip the rest.

But I haven't been diagnosed with lupus. o_O

I can't honestly even click on 'diagnosed with SEIDS', because I haven't bothered to get an official diagnosis. A simple 'no' option would probably have given you more votes and a more useful comparison. Just a suggestion for future polls.

Oh, and from another thread about polls, it's recommended that the thread title start with 'Poll:'. I learned that one after my last poll. That's supposed to get more attention.
