Has anyone had Lupus and had clear MRI scans?

An MRI is not used to diagnose SLE but can help show if it has affected the central nervous system. If it has then it would be labeled as NPSLE. I have had an MRI and it was fine and showed no damage to my CNS for now. Not all people with SLE have NPSLE. Not sure if that helps or not. I was diagnosed with SLE 30 years ago.

blood tests are used to diagnose Lupus. I had a Clear MRI. It helped rule out other things such as cancer.
