ANA negative for systemic Lupus

@jayrob624 I’, just wondering what speciality of doctor you are seeing. Is it a rheumatologist? Autoimmune diseases are very hard to diagnose and lab values don’t always help.
I’m sure you have seen Mayo Clinic’s information on lupus, but here it is again!

If your doctor is not being responsive to you, then you might find a new one. Go back to your PCP and ask for another referral, this time to a rheumatologist . You sound like you stay on top of things so get on top of this!
What is the one concern that you would ask your doctor about?

Hi @becsbuddy The last doctor I saw was a rheumatologist. He said i do not have Lupus. It was my dermatologist who did a biopsy on my scalp and determined it was discoid lupus. Should I see an autoimmune Dr too?
