A member asked:
I'm symptomatic, ana & anti-dsdna neg. w/ a strong family history of sle. is it worth doing further testing like anti-sm (neg. for infection and iem)?

What symptoms: No tests needed, clear history, objective evaluation! do not make yourself sick because of family history. The familial connective tissue diseases usualy have positive antibodies.
