Advice on talking to rheumatologist
Since February, I’ve been suffering with weird blisters on my fingers, was initially treated for shingles, then raynauds, referred to rheumatologist after positive ANA test and with rash on face. Rheumatologist was quite dismissive, “just” raynauds, and my joints can’t possibly hurt because my hands

Lupus, Sjogrens or something else?
Last December my blood test showed positive ANA titre 1:1000 with dsDNA and histone antibodies which are typical for Lupus. I went to see rheumatologist who said that my symptoms (sinus problems for years etc.) would match to Sjogrens but he still wanted to double check results few months later. Last

Need Help Interpreting Results
Hello all, My husband (GL 9, several bone mets-diagnosed 8/19-Casodex, Eligard, Zytiga/prednisone, plus radiation) had a bone scan today, along with routine three month blood work and an Eligard shot. He was scheduled for a CAT scan as well, but the MO postponed it as he was recently vaccinated for Covid

Saw cat scan of lungs for the first time, but not sure how to interpret them.
Yesterday, I saw my chest cat scan for the first time. I was at a consultation with a neurosurgeon regarding a spinal cord stimulator. My rheumatologist told me I had only some minor scarring in the bottom of my lungs when he cut my prednisone from 10 MG to 5 MG, but the cat scan did not look like minor
