Just thought it may be useful. I was first diagnosed as hypothyroid so I learned I can get a card to exempt me from paying all prescription charges. Now I'm on so many medicines it's saving me a fortune! Weird that SLE isn't one of the conditions to get you this exemption, but I think lots of us also have thyroid problems anyway.

Really? That's excellent! Where are you?
Even down in the windy South no one needs to pay much more than a tenner a month (I think it is £10.40 at the moment, though I would need to check my bank account to be sure - get a prescription pre-payment certificate and pay by direct debit. EVERYTHING you need is covered under this.
Brilliant! But that's still over £100 a year which many of us may not need to pay. X

Do you need to have a positive ANA to have Lupus ? I have all the symptoms of lupus plus fibromaligia, M.E, Pernicious Anemia & Vit D Defic

Is a high ANA meaningful on it's own, or is it only useful if you have other high markers on other autoimmune tests?
