My last analysis.

[clapa80]

HI it's me again. Today i handed the result of my last analysis, the analysis that I made a month ago, had gone negative lupus anticoagulant, now I think not. I have my next appointment with the rheumatologist until 15 October. I do not understand much of this, if any of you better understand these issues and can give me your concept really appreciate it. I understand that the concept does not replace the concept of my doctor, so do not worry only ask for information. Attached to this post pictures of my analysis. Thank you so much.

Hi,

I am sorry but the image is too small to see anything. Even so, it is far better to discuss this with your rheumatologist. I am sure you have many questions and many people find it helpful to write down all your questions so you can then discuss them with your doctor.

I understand this is an anxious time, so please feel free to talk.

With good wishes,

Ros

By itself, a positive ANA does not mean very much. Many people who do not have any medical condition can have a positive ANA. In addition, there is a small subset of patients with lupus who are "sero-negative", that is, they do not have a positive ANA and have lupus. SLE is a very difficult condition to understand and even more difficult to diagnose by doctors. Some rheumatologists have never treated a patient with lupus.

If you are interested, there is more information at the LuPUS Message Board. I have sent you a message with more details.

With good wishes,

Ros
