I don't know about the others but when they first thought that I had Lupus I did not have the butterfly rash, I did not get that until about 6 months later. It was really strange because when I did not have the rash my tests were negative and then all of a sudden I got the rash and then my test results became positive. But the thing is that just because you do not have the rash does not mean that you don't have the disease. Take Care Laurie:wink2:

I would go back and be retested it can not hurt except the needle part :rotfl: . As I was saying earlier I was tested 3 different times to get a positive diagnosis. It seems to be a battle to get the diagnosis but after that then the docs know somewhat of how to treat you. Don't give up and try to stay positive I know that sounds corney but I have noticed the more I get down on things the more the Lupus kicks my butt so I try to stay positive even tho at times it is very, very, very difficult. Keep up the fight and like I said stay positive!!!!! Nice to be able to help you a little. Laurie
