Yes, there are seronegative autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis as there are overlap syndromes that are sometimes hard to recognize. Your current team, primary care doc and rheumatologist remain your best resources in trying to determine what might be the cause for your symptoms.
