Just looking for some advice!
I suffer from Juevenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, but was diagnosed with Lupus last year by my GO. Circumstances have forces me to stop working and recently in trying to get treatment the ANA test result came back normal. I know the symptoms from RA, and although they are similar, there has to be something

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired 😓
Hi all I’ve never posted before but really wanted some advice - I know no one here is a doctor but I really appreciate your opinions. I think that I may have lupus but despite having a positive ANA and P-ANCA the GP told me the results were TOO WEAKLY positive to be a concern despite me being symptomatic

Rheumatoid Factor of 96 but Negative ANA test...what does that mean?
My name is Katherine and I am a 33 year old female. I have moving joint pain in pretty much every joint in my body (elbows, fingers, back, hips, knees, feet etc). My RF came back 96 but my ANA test came out negative. Can anyone explain what that means? Thanks so much!

April, at least here in the South East of England, has continued the long, dark, wet winter. Even Scotland is doing better than us! The good news is that our website (www.ghic.world) is now fully up and running.

First Actemra infusion today
A bit nervous, today I will be having my first Actemra infusion. In January I started on 60 mg of prednisone, am down to 30 mg currently. My Rheumatologist wants me to start the Actemra so I can titrate off of the prednisone faster due to my experiencing so many negative side effects from prednisone

Negative ANA?
I've not been diagnosed with Lupus, but I do have many of its symptoms. I've had a few blood tests and the ANA keeps coming back as negative. Has anyone had several negative ANA results and after several years get a positive? They seem to use this as the main diagnostic to confirm if you have Lupus

Long wait is finally over

Please help me understand
I am very confused and worried. My babyboy (10 years) may or may not at this point have lupus. We received lab results back with a positive Ana ifa... and a speckled Ana pattern 1.... as you can imagine none of this makes any sense to me at all. We have an appt in June for a emg/nerve conduction

Fibromyalgia following virus
Hello. I am new here but have been taking great comfort from reading the posts from others. It’s nice to feel less isolated by this horrid illness. I was relatively fit and well before contracting some unknown virus last year which appeared to attack my neurological system. First symptom was facial palsy

Undiagnosed for 17 years
I have been sick for 17 years with an undiagnosed illness. I am not feeling well, so I won't go into all the details of my illness. In fact, Im feeling so poorly physically, intellectually and emotionally that Im finding it very difficult to write this. I have a sister who is 5 years younger than me.
