Do u think its really lupus?



My ANA is 1:40 and my rheumatoid factor is 6 and my ana pattern is nucleolar. c reactive protein is .32. is the diagnosis of lupus likely?

No, lab values may suggest in favor or against a diagnosis. It is more important to know the exact clinical syndrome. How did the problem start, when. How did symptoms proceed, what took you to the doctor. etc. It sounds that the ordering physician has ordered all the appropriate tests to rule in or rule out an "autoimmune disorder" (that includes lupus). Do discuss these with your doctor and also try to get some information on disease names or your symptoms from familydoctor.org, mayoclinic.com or NIH websites, good luck
