I can't find my original post to reply/add to but anyway.... I just got back from my first Rheumatology appointment.(I am ANA positive 1:640 for years on 2 tests) negative for everything else he says although I have dsDNA and ENA in tiny amounts. so todays appointment in and out in 20 minutes, nice enough doctor, moved my arms and legs around a bit, said my neck muscles are very tight(which I know, I had 14 physio appointments in 8 months) .He gave me two cortisone shots in my neck(unexpected) and started me on a trial of Hydroxychloroquine.I am to go back in 3 months. He said (if I understand correctly) if I find great improvement on these pills it COULD be Lupus, otherwise he thinks it's Fibromyalgia . Any thoughts? thanks guys X
I may go over to the fibro page and see what's what
P.S. I also have Pernicious Anemia ,diagnosed in 2015,self treating with frequent injections at home.
