I don't know if she tested for that specifcally but I know that one of the tests for Lupus is "anti-nuclear antibodies"....of which my results were : < 1:40 ( <1:40 being negative, 1:40-1:80 low levels and >1:80 elevated levels). Does this mean I am safe? Lupus!! What a scary thought! Thank you so much for your reply.
