Specializes in Rheumatology

Yes, I would say : Your chance of of having lupus or Sjogren is less than 1 to 2% with those negative serology. But I would say majority (if not all) of rheumatologist would likely advise you to look for other diagnosis unless you have tissue biopsy to suggest otherwise.
