It's not lupus

I went back to the doc today to talk about the test results. It turns out that my long-standing ear canal infection skewed all of the results, causing the rheumatoid factor and sed rates to score high. I also missed the part on the results where one test registered a positive ANA but subsequent, more involved tests showed it to be a false positive

I've probably asked you this before, but have you been tested for MS? My mom was diagnosed with MS and now I see it everywhere, so it could just be me reading into things; but a lot of the symptoms you describe sound more like MS than Lupus.

I don't have MS. The symptoms of MS are tingling and stuff. I don't have any symptoms except the fatigue. No aches, no pains, no tingling, no numbness, nothing.
