What are your thoughts.

Hi, I had a skin biopsy 3 weeks ago to check for lupus, I missed the phone call today, I contacted them and they said a letter has been sent out today, along with a blood test form, could this mean the results were inconclusive or negative which is why they want to test blood again.

Diagnosed with Sjogrens in 2002 then RA/Sle crossover about 2004, been pretty much controlled but the lesions started on my back perhaps 6 years ago, dermatologist said it was eczema, it's still there along with sores in my ears and nose and small circular spots on my scalp, neck and hairline.

when I saw the next dermatologist she scheduled the biopsy for the following week and marked my blood form urgent but had not received it when I was sent for the biopsy, she was a community dermatologist so they come in from an outside area.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions.
