I have a positive lupus ban test but a negative ana test. my primary care doctor said i have sero negative lupus and told me not to see a specialist?

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.

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!

Negative ANA levels. High TBO tests (118 iu/ml). Negative TSH. could I still have lupus? So frustrated with my results! Doc says hashimotos.
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?
