well i dont know where to start this is very long story anyways i just need to know if this could be hughes syndrome and finding it hard to understand why my specialist hav took so long to realise it. how it started off i have lupus n when i was trying for bby i had many of miscarriages n after the third one i wanted to know why i kept having miscarriages n had many of tests this time last year n lupus specialist did normal tests wiv blood tests coz after i had lose a bby i was flaring up alot but all tests came back negative but when i say doctors in woman health she did lots of blood tests too n she did them twice n she came back n told me this time last year tht the blood test came back positive for lupus causing the miscarriages n she told me wat was happening tht i was having clots tht caused me to lose the bby tht i will need fragmin injections n asprin but she never sed wat it was called could this be hughes syndrome? or it just lupus n never understood wat she sed but she sed sumthing about its called sticky blood but again is this hughes syndrome or just lupus? anyway after tht i got pregnant n they put me on injections n asprin but tht dr has never mention it to my lupus specialist n forgot about it til later in pregnancy i flare up lots n my bby is now 5 months nearly i hav bin reli bad flare up n i hav neulogical problems tht i cant walk n keep blacking out n hav stomach problems n bad joints n at end of pregnancy my rods in my back hav moved n caused me lots of pain rods r there coz i had scoliosis n i am anaemic n i hav b12 deficietly n my periods r messed up n i hav lots of bad headaches tht set me off into flare up i am on steriods n chlordroxychquine n morphine n vit d n iron tablets n my lupus specialist is sending me over to another specialist but lupus specialist didnt know anything about then other test tht lady doctor did last year has i hav spoken to him n tried to explain but he send she never sent information to him about them test n blood test i had done wiv him always come back negative but he sed it does more than likely look like u hav hughe syndrome and he has sent me for more blood tests but could i still have hughes syndrome? and what would people do about them tests in past do you think i should try to get more answers about them tests in past ?

Hi there, I am saying hello and really agreeing with everything said above, and of course once we know where you are we can help you find more detailed care. It sounds as if you are nearly there with the diagnosis, it just needs some fine tuning, and once it is clear things should be a bit easier to understand and manage. Best wishes to you, and hope you find our forum useful. Mary F x
