Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 , If a physician uses the phrase " subclinical lupus, " he or she most probably means that lupus is suspected to be present in a patient, but that the patient is not exhibiting symptoms typical of lupus. Perhaps labs highly specific to lupus are positive (such as anti-Sm or anti-dsDNA), but there are no outward signs of SLE. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks. Subclinical or not, I've been out-of-service since last September. I've had minor outbreaks in the past but nothing like this. I am starting to understand sed rate (mine is high) and such.
