If I've been strictly avoiding the sun due of burns, can they still run accurate inflammation tests for Lupus?

Or will I have to expose myself to the painful big yellow ball in the sky :)

Answers:
I have Systemic Lupus, and have never been asked to expose myself to the sun before testing. You are correct to avoid unnecessary exposure, and I would seriously question any medical procedure that requires you to do so. It sounds like your doing exactly what's necessary to protect yourself.
Take care!!
