Positive Ana then negative
Hi everyone. 4 weeks ago my pcp ordered blood work because he suspected I had a thyroid issue. He also did an Ana test. The Ana test came back positive and I was referred to a rheumatologist. After a physical examine he believed I may have lupus or RA. I have extreme joint pain, anemia, low vitamin D

Another autoantibody has appeared!
Hello. I've been the proud owner of a AMAs for at least 10 years, but I have normal liver function test so the GI people don't want to see me. I'm female, 49 and have been suffering from painful and slightly swollen joints recently, especially my knuckles (the PIP joints specifically) on both hands

Rheumatology appointment in January
Hi all, it's my first post, I'm hoping I can get some thoughts from you... I first went to my GP about my aches and pains 7 years ago, they tested for rheumatoid arthritis but it came up negative. I was then sent to see a rheumatologist for a possible lupus diagnosis but they decided it wasn't. I was

Just diagnosed and scared.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus because of symptoms and positive ANA. Last month I decided to get a second opinion because I felt as though my Rheumatologist was cold and wasn't helping. My new rheumy ran a series of tests and found that my liver enzymes were very high and I was again had a

Can’t get answers??!!
Hi everyone. I am 34 and was diagnosed with PCOS at 17. As I get older it gets worse. After my son was born 6yrs ago, it seems to get more painful and more cysts form. I have been worried for about 4 months now that I may have ovarian cancer. I have several symptoms and my grandmother had it as well.

B12 deficiency, injections and blood test results
Hello, I wondered whether there's anyone out there with knowledge of B12 deficiency? I've been feeling rubbish with loads of strange symptoms for at least a couple of years. My ferritin is always lowish - hovering around 15-18 ug/L. My folate was 11 ug/L in January, 10 in June and now 9.

Mild rant, may have gone in a circle

Erythromyalgia or something else/more? Mast Cell Activation Disorder?
Bit of history first - I've had Reynaud's since a young girl. No other issues related to anything rheumatalogical other than intermittent ulcers rarely until a few years ago.
