Why would I suddenly test positive of... - Hughes Syndrome A...
Why would I suddenly test positive of Lupus Anticoagulant Antigen? Protein C& S are deficient, in past my IgA & IgM +. Now they are neg.
These things can be so intermittent when testing my testing is giving similar results !
We have just got hang in there & hope we get a result. It is all so very frustrating when you feel so poorly, i feel like screaming at times for somebody to help me.
It is all so compicated, i was told by rheumy the best time for testing is three days into the attack. I am that poorly when in an attack i cant get out of my bed let alone to the Doctors for testing. Good luck i hope you get answers soon.
I had expected the IgM to "wax and wain" but NEVER had a positive Lupus Anticoagulant before. I have been diagnosed with fairly effective management for 15 years. This test was done about three to four days into a huge flare. Oh well, doesn't change anything to know this, as a matter of fact I was initially irritated that the new hematologist consulted during the flare repeated so many test that I has the answers to already. I try to limit my cost when I can. Nice to know but like I said, doesn't change anything.
