Understanding my pain
My community is pain, simply because I live in pain 24/7 and I try to understand it. I know, more or less, where my pain is coming from. It's coming from the many conditions that I have been blessed to experience. I consider each pain to be a blessing because it reminds me that I am alive and not buried

ANA pattern
I had a recent ANA test that came back 1:640. If I am reading the results correctly, both homogeneous and speckled patterns were found. Is it possible to have both? And if so, what does that mean exactly?

Newbie test results help!
Hi newbie here. I have had a lot of symptoms for a long time but just kept putting it down to age/hormones. I'm 48 by the way. To cut a long story short, I have been losing my eyebrow hair for a few years and lost all of my under arm hair probably 10 - 15 yrs ago. So I went to see my GP and she said

MCTD vs SLE
Question: is there any difference in the treatment of MCTD and SLE? Here's why I'm asking... I visited my GP after developing Raynauds and what I thought was RSI in my hands/wrists early this year. My ANA test came back positive, along with a positive RNP result. My GP referred me to a private rheumatologist

STILL FEEL SICK BUT...
I'm so happy to have found my new GP. Although my rheumy appt isn't till August he is doing a second ANA testing, ct scan and a bone density test. He looked at my rash on my face and actually looked at my hands and feet. Just the fact that he looked at me and not his notepad or prescription paper.

What is an ANA test?
My husband got diagnosed with RA in April of 2015, but was awaiting two knee replacements for osteo-arthritis in his knees, at the time. As he also has a chronically infected condition affecting his lungs, (bronchiectasis,) the local hospital didn't really want to do his knee replacements at all and

In October 2014 I found out I had a fracture in my left wrist that got missed for 5 years as well as a TFCC tear. I had surgery last year to repair the fracture and ligament and thought I was doing
