That’s great news! Though I’m sure it’s frustrating since it doesn’t give you any further clues as to what the problem is. Do you meet any of the lupus criteria? Usually 3-4(depending on what state you are in and insurance standards) is a pretty good indication it could be lupus. Though I have no heard of a hemothorax being caused by lupus, have you had any infectious disease testing?

Previously when I mentioned to my physician about infections, he said he don't expect infections.
What are the lab tests require to test infectious disease?
One indicator could be Ebstein Barr Virus. It can lay dormant but can be retriggerd. Just a thought

Previousely I was diagnosed with Fibro.I have few symptoms but not sure they are due to LUPUS.
Current symptoms are : Ribs pain due to pleurisy, Knees pain, redish in the mouth with mild soreness and lot of back pain (from muscles).
