Is there any point in seeing a rheum with neg labs?

It is possible that you have lupus, even though the tests came back negative. Since your symptoms are classic for lupus and your grandmother also has it, it may be worth seeing a rheumatologist to get a more thorough evaluation. To get an accurate diagnosis, you may want to consider ordering additional tests from https://www.privatemdlabs.com/. These could include an antinuclear antibody (ANA) test, anti-double stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) test, and/or complement levels.
