How Can Inflammation In The Joints While Suffering From Lupus Be Treated?

I was told I have Lupus for years. Now all of a sudden with one blood (that they did millions of times) came back negative and released me from their care. My joints and inflammation are getting extremely worse and I have to get pain medication just to make it halfway through the day. I hurt from head to toe morning, noon and night. I just want someone to figure it out and help me live a normal active and healthy life

Hi,

You have to be on medication for all that pain. In lupus usually one test positive remains that way for the whole life. Kindly repeat the test and start medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
