Lab results in. I think this is drug induced lupus. Help

This article lists most of the drugs known have the potential to cause drug-induced Lupus. /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug-induced_lupus_erythematosus. Have you been taking one of them?

I caution you against self-diagnosis. A positive ANA doesn't necessary mean you have a disease, it's just an indicator telling the Dr to check you for symptoms of auto-immune diseases. And the nuclear pattern is most often seen in scleroderma patients, not Lupus.

Read our Lupus 101 thread on how to prepare for your first rheumy appointment. Take the Dr a list of your symptoms and when they occur, as well as a list of your medications and how long you have been on them. Let the Dr decide on which, if any, diagnosis fits. Avoid mentioning any particular diagnosis, it can cause the Dr to inadvertently fail to consider things that may be real possibilities.

Let us know how it goes!

Your best bet is to consult your rheumatologist with these questions.

I don't see either of the drugs you mentioned on the list, but I don't think it's a complete list.

Sorry, we are just fellow SLE patients and not Drs...

So with a positive ana and a high positive am r n p would those test results indicate sle? Along with my other results I have listed in my other threads. My joint pain. Stiff joints, it takes me about half an hour for my hands and feet to work, thier so stiff and sometimes swollen in the morning.. Low fevers almost every day. Exhaustion, sleep never helps. Depression and anxiety, bright whites fingers that go numb just by putting my hands in cold water. Weight loss. Shingles that took over my summer for four weeks. Ultrasound says I have fluid in some of my joints (wrists and knees) and a hole in the bone of my big toe. Is this arthritis? Broke three bones last year. Three major infections, the first one bacterial that started to turn sepsis and almost killed me. All three put me in the hospital for a number of days. A red rash on my face and neck from stress, the sun, hot showers and during flares. So with theses symptoms and blood test results can this be lupus or something else. Any of your input from those of you who have been diagnosed with lupus would be appreciated.
Oh and Iam a 56 year old female, if that makes any difference. (My first visit two years ago with a rheumatologist. I had a red rash on my face. The rheumatologist refused to do any tests and told me I was too old to have lupus). Great experience.
