Does this sound like Lupus?



I am 23 year old female and am having unexplained weight loss. My ANA tested postive, ANA reaction positive, ANA titer >or=1:2560, ANA pattern Homogeneous...would this be consistent with Lupus? I don't have any skin rashes but I do get joint pain. I am 23 year old female.

you can have immunological test positive before the appearance of symptoms so yes it could be SLE and if you started get joint pain as well i advice you to do more tests as the dsDNA which more strongly suggests it and ENA for a definitive diagnosis
You need to talk to your doctor about this. This isn't the proper place to get a diagnosis.

yes, it dose and check out the lupus web site

yes it does, you have lupus
You should see a rheumatologist. There's very good medicines to help with the pain (Plaquinil), without having to use steroids.
The doctor I went to thought I could possibly have lupus but all the test came back negative. I have fybromyalgia.
With fybromyalgia you will have joint pain and you will feel tired alot, and depressed.So just good luck and you can also check out WebMd.com
