Only below the first knuckle. My toes still get red for some parts of the day.
My doctor was alarmed at the fingers symptom. And cautioned that ANA changes and can be normal and then abnormal and cycle.

Thanks Mrs.D for this info. Did you have general neuropathy symptoms and pain along w the lupus?
My doc ordered new labs for autoimmune antibodies, said a special order that will be sent out and will take a month or so to get back. Also ordered paraneoplastic panel and CT scans of chest and abdomen. He continues to think some type of autoimmune process, but steroid infusions did not help. I suspect we may never know but just will focus on pain management
