How Can Sjogren S Syndrome Be Treated?

 I have SLE and Sjogren s Syndrome. In the past I have tested INCLUSIVE for Cardiolipin IGG antibodies, then a MODERATE POSITIVE 4 weeks later. It was overlooked by the doctor. 5/20/15, I tested remarking high for IGG, but this new doctor didn t even mention it until I got my records and brought to his attention, which was eight months later. He tested me again (at my request) and it was negative. I even have Livedo Reticularis. I have suffered 2 miscarriages in the past before I knew I had Lupus etc.... Question: Should I have been tested again or is it safe to say that I don t have this condition (APS)?
