I have lupus with negative anti dsdna. That means I don't have a lot of kidney involvement. I just have things like severe fatigue, constant deficiencies, pains and aches, getting every sniffle and cold that will last for weeks or turn into pneumonia, reactions to exertion and sun sensitivity.
I am in a good spell since a few years with a lot, not much pain, a little better not getting sick all the time, I can tire myself out without getting fevers and end up in bed, I tolerate sun in the shade. On the other side, the deficiencies run wild.
I am not in any treatment else than the connected Hashimoto's. I opted out of prednisone treatment, I'd rather die than have it.
