I hve suspected lupus but i was told it couldntt be that even though i have all the symptoms because my ANA test was negative. I have started feeling hot all the time but my temtreture ranges from 35.1 to 35.5 normally and 66.9.37.5 when I feel unwell, I am sotired all the time and all my joints are so painful but all blood tests come back normal.. any advice?
Hello, It is true that if your ANA is negative, than chance of lupus is very remote. But you didn't write about symptoms of lupus, lupus can be suspected if there are rashes on face, joint pain, hair fall, mouth ulcers, decrease blood count, kidney problems etc. If you have these symptoms, My advice is to go for ANA by immunofluorescence method (if this method was not used in previous test). You write about joint pain only, I think you should go for ESR, CRP, Anti CCP and RF also, if not done Hope this will help
