Hair Loss And Lupus

i match symptoms for lupus but ANA is negative?
Here are my symptoms
Joint pain/ joint cracking
muscle pain and weakness
occasional butterfly rash
nausea in the morning/vomiting sometimes during attacks
tingling and cold fingers
fatigue
hair loss
memory problems
shaky hands/ sometimes unable to write and hold pen
insomnia and leg jerks in sleep
pain in chest and inability to breathe during attacks
head feels hot sometimes
I had four attacks –> June, August, October, and December of this year.
My ANA came back negative and my doctor says it’s not lupus or any other autoimmune. What should I do now?
I started having lupus-like symptoms when I was about 14 when I was 15 my family doctor ran blood tests to check my ANA and it came back negative. It took four more years before I finally had a positive ANA and ultimately a positive lupus diagnosis. Autoimmune disorders are tricky to diagnose. Try and hang in there and keep reporting back to your doctor any new symptoms and if you feel like you are not getting any help with your current doctor–Find a new one! I saw a couple dozen doctors before I finally found on that was able to really treat me. Good luck and hang in there!
Snoop Dog's Wife, Shante Broadus, talks about Daughter's Lupus she noticed the first time that something was wrong with her daughter, Cori, if one Skin irritation on her face appeared on a pool excursion. Over a short period of Cori started showing more symptoms such as excessive weight loss and degradation of her hair, all at the age of six.
