I have SLE, Sjogrens, fibromyalgia, APS, Raynauds, Avascular Necrosis, probably others as well and damage to all my organs due to the disorders or the meds to treat them

I agree with MaryKelly. I have both and sometimes the drs are confounded with the blood test results. I'm not on any Lupus drugs, maybe in remission, but I do feel the lupus symptoms often enough. I definitely have sjrogens....my eyes arent moist enough to open fully every morning and I seldom tear. Eyesight has also worsened and oddly enough I get terrible migraines on my eyeballs.

The connective tissue disease sucks. As does fibromyalgia.

Dont get stuck on the diagnosis or bloods. Just keep going, take your meds and be hyper alert to any changes in your symptoms. Best to seek medical intervention earlier than later.

Huge hug.
