Lupus
Had anyone tested positive for lupus? I had one test last summer that was negative then one this past month that was positive. I go back in 12 weeks for more testing. Just wondering how common this is. Is lupus common among people with fibro?
I was tested in Feb and it came back negative. So was referred to Rheumatology and told I have fibro
@A MyFibroTeam Member I got a diagnosis of Lupus in about 2006 and was placed on 2 medications for it. I was referred to a Rheumatologist and she looked at my labs and said you do not have Lupus and took me off of the meds. Then when I went to see my orthopedic doc for my knee injection he looked at my labs and said I was borderline Lupus. UGH....The same pcp that said I had Lupus, also told me I had a Collagen disorder and the pcp that I have now said that I don't. Never ending!!
I tested positive when I first got sick as my Ana blood test was high. After blood tests every 3 months for a year my Ana was back to normal so they changed the diagnosis to Fibro. I continue to have more symptoms of Lupus but because my rash is not on my face they say I don't have it. The 1st year I got sick I developed a rash on my chest that gets worse during flare upsups but according to the medical standards, I guess it doesn't count as lupus.
I tested positive for it and my ana and seds are always.off but they still say fibromyalgia
You have Lupus, no you don't. I'm 100% positive you have lupus. You're an idiot for thinking you have Lupus. That's the cycle I'm in. My ANA panel is always in that 99% range but followup testing rules it out. Honestly I just gave up worrying about it because I'm tired of the run around I get about it.

I Seem To Get A Lot Of Infections. I Know Fibro Is A CNS Disease, Not Autoimmune. Why Do Some Of Us Get Infections Requiring Antibiotics?
What Lab Tests Are Ordered For Fibro By Doctors. My Rheumatologist Is Retiring And He Has Never Done A Single Blood Test.
