SLE is a chronic: And complex, often difficult to diagnose. I hope you were diagnosed by an expert like rheumatologist. With a positive ANA and if in doubt, antibodies to dsdna and anti-sm. Also the presence of anti phospholipids antibodies that raised risk of complications. There is a criteria follow by rheumatologist you could find at lupusresearchinstitute.Org.
