@A MyLupusTeam Member When testing for SLE, first you have to be in a Flare up Before the ANA testing will pick it up. Maybe you need to have a 2nd opinion also. Who is running the test? Rheumatologist?

I have SLE Lupus and Scleroderma, I also get the Discoid lesions of the skin, also Morphea Lesion, The symptoms I get when my skin flares up is really not to much pain, but when I get them in the scalp, oh it hurts like a toothache. Best thing for you is to stay out of the sun as much as possible, I have also squamous cell carcinoma cancer from the lesions thinning the skin and from to much sun when younger. Please take care of yourself and Stay Out of the Sun. The Sun is bad for Lupus period. Do you see a Dermatologist?
Many Prayers and Lupie Hugs to you!!!!
