It could be raynaud's phenomena. Your
fingertips get white in the cold?
While raynaud's can be nothing but an
annoyance, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be
checked out. I know my investigating my
raynaud's I tested for positive ana which
led me to a rheumatologist.
But since you already have checked it out,
guess you got your bases covered. Just
keep an eye out for other things. If the
fingers are the only thing that are
bothering you, maybe nothing to worry
about. But I would try to arrange for
some regular blood work to be done every
few months.

Just because you've been tested 4 times
doesn't mean you don't have lupus, I was
tested every 2 months for 2 years and it
never said I had lupus untill I had an
actual flare up and even that only showed
up on a kidney biopsy...So theres not much
you can do but make sure your doctor does
regular check ups.

Just remember to wear gloves all year
round. During driving, washing dishes,
even typing. Take yoga, pilate class.
Anything to let go of the daily
stress/worries. Go and see
endrocinologist doctors also. Cuz lupus
can flares up when your hormone unbalance.
