From what I have learned is that anti DNA reads positive is you have lupus the ana negative reads the activity of lupus kind of complicated

ok thank you so much that's what i've been reading like it's rare but can happen all i know is since my really bad attack in may i haven;t been the same. i normally have problems with energy i have always been tired since i was a kid. but since may my energy hasn't come back i'm dragging can't walk my seizures got worse to where they take my energy and strength from me. they were slowly going away but then this attack in may happened and there worse and went in and out of coma's twice first time a little over a day and the second almost 3 days. it happened so fast i was at work and i just got super tired and almost fell asleep on break. and by the end of my shift i could barely walk cause i just wanted to collapse my husband had to help me to the car. and the next day i was so tired i was walking slower then a snail and the next day i couldn't walk and could barely stay awake. i have liver disease so i thought it might be liver failure i told my job i couldn't stay awake and needed time off that night i went into the first coma no one could wake me and when i came out of it i was exhausted ate something and then went into the longer coma. during that i was having the bad seizures and i am still having them and so frustrated i thought i was dehydrated but now i now it's lupus and it's getting worse. i'm losing feeling in my legs and feet now i'm really scared not knowing what each day holds.

I'm actually in the same boat, negative ANA, but positive Anti dsdna, my G P says my test results look great. Not quite sure of that from what I read and feel. Any info from others would be greatly appreciated!
