Yes, it is called being ‘seronegative’ ie. you have a disease/condition which can be diagnosed symptomatically (usually by a doctor worth their salt) but the blood markers remain negative.

For instance I was seronegative for Sjögren’s syndrome for eight years. I undoubtedly had that autoimmune condition quite severely but my blood markers always came back negative until one day…….they didn’t.

Did your doctor believe in seronegative? My Rheumy did not. I am no longer with her. My symptoms started with undx Grave's Disease that became a thyroid storm while I was in nursing student clinicals in 2009. I never recovered but I am in remission. My symptoms remain.
