you can have immunological test positive before the appearance of symptoms so yes it could be SLE and if you started get joint pain as well i advice you to do more tests as the dsDNA which more strongly suggests it and ENA for a definitive diagnosis

The doctor I went to thought I could possibly have lupus but all the test came back negative. I have fybromyalgia.
