Hi Dr. XXXXXXX
Thank for your reply.
I wear upper and lower dentures which do not fit perfect on the bottom, which has been for years. In the past 1 month I had oral ulcers in my mouth on the bottom, which is now healing.
Joint pain is almost always. The severity of it, comes and goes but can last for a couple of weeks.

Hello,
Thanks for the follow up,
Your symptoms and antibody titres are suggestive of SLE.
I would request you to get the XXXXXXX titres as well as DNA antibodies test repeated once, as we always look for rise in titres to assess disease severity.
If there is rise in titres, SLE can be confirmed and treatment can be started.
Thank you
