@A MyLupusTeam Member, you don't need to have internal organ involvement to be diagnosed with lupus. Don't forget that the skin is also an organ. I think you need a second opinion from a different rheumatologist. Hugs to you

Yes, positive dsdna but avise score came back .5 indeterminate for lupus, rhuemotologist is watching me for lupus, he wont diagnose a patient with lupus unless there is organ involvement. I do have a positive SSA, NXP 2, SRP and RNA pollymrease 111. Im currently diagnosed with sjorgrens but being watched for everything else. What is your index score on the avise test? I do get the butterfly on my face and rashes on my arms in the sun, always have a high CRP too.
