A member asked:
What do you advise if doctor says he thinks i have lupus due to ana + bloodtest also cfs abd fibro what are main symptoms of lupus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Rheumatologist: Not sure if the doctor is a rheumatologist or Primary Care. Need to see a Rheumatologist. The Ana blood test has differrent degrees. 1:40 is weak, but 1:620 is pretty strong. You need follow up testing that would provide more specific results and then everything should be considered-your symtpoms, objective and subjective findings, blood tests. The best decision can then be made.

Weak positive Histone Antibody, negative ANA, elevated sed rate, elevated C-reactive protein. Elevated White blood cell. Doctor says its nothing. I believe signs point to drug induced lupus. What could this be? What causes positive Histone antibody?
