skin reaction and nausea

Hello, My first was discoid lupus. My blood tests all came back negative, except for RNP, which the rheumatologist considers a false positive. Which is current medical thinking. Default is to treat for symptoms. Take care.

Depending where you are in the cycle, but it seems, the physical signs come before the antibodies show up. Which makes sense. Then the fact that there is a possibility of a false positive or negative. Take care.
