Re: subclinical lupus....

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.

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.
