A member asked:
Is it possible to be in a lupus flare and even while all inflammatory labs are negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not common!: Since many symptoms of lupus are vague and non-specific, the answer is usually not, unless your symptoms or clinical findings are part of the clinical diagnostic criteria for sle. Aches and pains have many causes, as does fatigue, fever, etc. It is imprudent to overtreat any conditions, if hard signs for flares do not exist! i hope your problem will be resolved!
