Had the appointment now
I was told I didnt have pbc by my GP when she discovered the positive AMA and normal LFT in August this year. Despite this I was referred to a consultant for further tests and since then I have waited around on nhs lists hoping to see a liver specialist, but with the prospect of a 5 month wait i decided

Hi , told had lupus by dermotologist referred rhuem having 2 possitive blood first border second accel have symptoms rhuemi says not have it
I have researched the different effects of lupus and know in myself that is what i have from being referred with a diagnosis to being told i will not "be Labelled" by the rhuemi is very confusing and even more upsetting. Can your bloods show positive ana and anticoag but not have it with numerous symptoms

What causes fibromyalgia?
Ok so I know nobody knows a definitive answer to that question, but I just wondered if people remember anything significant around the time they got ill? I haven't yet had a diagnosis and the only test that keeps coming back positive is the ana test, but I went to India in November, caught a bad stomach

Hellooooo
Hey all I am new to this forum. I have previously been posting on the lupus forum as i havent had a diagnosis of anything yet. All i know is i have had a positive ana titer three times but nothing more specific has shown up in my blood. Fibromyalgia has been mentioned a few times but to be honest
