See a rheumatologist: A positive lupus band test on a skin biopsy suggests cutaneous lupus but not necessarily systemic lupus. See a rheumatologist. It is presumptuous for a primary care physician to tell you what he/she did.

Doc thinks I have Lupus due to many symptoms and ANA positive. Urinalysis was positive for protein and leukocytes at 1+ and negative for nitrites. I have many Lupus symptoms but also bladder pain for months. Is this result likely Lupus or uti related?

Ana 1:80 but it was 1:2560 in the past. New doc doesn't think lupus despite firm diagnosis despite 5 hospitalizations for flares. Why does ANA and other tests fluctuate? I definitely have lupus!

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?
