I have been so frustrated trying to figure out what is wrong with me - Docs seem to think I'm making it up. Finally found a good Doc but he has referred me out. I have many joints (mostly back, hips) that keep me from my life most days. I have had to quit working. I have a positive ANA, speckled 1:40 in June, 1:80 in July but all antibodies are negative (Anti-DNA,SSA,SSB,RNP) No anemia, not elevated Sed rate . I do have hashimotos which could cause the positive ANA. I have had this odd rash under my chin for years and now I have the classic malar rash - Doc saw it today and it is made bright by just a minute in the sun. My Doc says it is a lupus rash but has referred me to a rheumy Doc for this Friday. My question - is it possible to have lupus and all but the ANA blood tests be negative?
Thanks for any info
