Your ANA can change from positive to negative back to positive. I have lupus and it's no fun.

Having said that lupus is very hard to dx. Make sure your doctor has lupus patients. Not all rhemys have lupus patients and they do not know how to treat them.

Also there are about 60-80 different AI's out there that mimic lupus. It's one of the reasons it's so hard to dx.

Keep a note book of all your symptoms and any questions you have for your doctor. Since your doctor is so far away this will help you remember things. Early treatment is key and stay out of the sun. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Just try and not freak out it's easy to do.

Sending everyone healing vibes and genteel hugs
