A member asked:
Test came back + for lupus but only symptoms joint muscle pain,anxiety, insomnia. could it be something other than lupus?

Absolutely: Have you seen a rheumatologist? The only symptom you really have is joint pain and that is not specific for lupus. The others do not count. The ANA can be positive in thyroid disease.
