      @Arqaena I’m unsure if I get he butterfly rash, I feel a burning sensation on my face and get roses cheeks but it doesn’t stay long.

      Mine was diagnosed by a positive ANA and ENA test. I had an ANA of 160h and a positive ENA SSA-60. I also mentioned all of my symptoms, and I get a very obvious butterfly rash. I also got mine diagnosed by a rheumatologist, all of my GPs dismissed my results

      They’ll do further antibody tests see if there’s more and assess your symptoms and rule out other conditions
