Pepe, A positive ANA is not specific for lupus. I'm glad you are being sent to a rheumatologist. They can run the lupus specific antibody tests and look at all of your symptoms to make sure (or did they run those?).

I hope you don't have lupus but if you do, it is manageable. I've known a lot of people with lupus (volunteered for 10 yrs. to the local foundation). It's like MG, it can be mild or worse. It's different for everyone.

Try not to put the cart before the horse. I know it's hard to wait for answers. And it does really suck to have more than one AI disease (I have 2).

Just hang in there and take care of yourself. Pamper yourself!!!!!
