A member asked:

Can 1 have lupus diagnosis only by sx, repeatedana1:640, & prednisone works? other labs always neg.md thinks lupus but i'm afraid he'll start 2 think i'm crazy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May or may not be: A positive ANA and improvement of symptoms with Prednisone does not make a specific diagnosis of sle. Lupus is not the only cause of a positive ana. A careful evaluation will help define what you have. Just because you respond to Prednisone does not mean you have lupus.
