Any advice please?
Hi. I was diagnosed with m.e when I was 14, then hypothyroidism when I was 28, I'm now 39. Anyway, I still go through phases of extreme fatigue and joint pain. I have Raynaud's and have definitely had at least one positive ana blood test. I've seen one rheaumtologist who said I was just anxious. He

Three of a kind- thank you all for your support *sensitive post*
I have no words to say how I'm currently feeling as it still hasn't quite sunken in. We have never been pregnant and nor had a positive test in the time we've been trying in the last few years. To have 3 positives staring back at me at 3am seems like a dream. We are 'unexplained' but for this, our 1st

Strange results, nearly answers?!
Hey everybody, I’m back again with more results and more confusion! My neck swelling and other pain symptoms have been getting worse, I’ve had loads more bloods for various things and after a definite positive ANA (autoimmune profile) have been told likely Lupus SLE so awaiting a rheumatology appointment

Do I have Sjogrens ??
So, I saw my Rheumatologist today. She doesn't think I have Sjogrens. Positive ANA, but blood work for Sjogrens was negative. Lip Biopsy suggests Sjogrens. Parathesia ranges from tolerable to miserable. I have virtually no pain.She prescribed 300 mg. Plaquenil daily 10 days ago. She tells me my symptoms

Thyroid Test Results - Antibodies, Subclinical Hypothyroidism
Just had my first tests results from Medichecks. Would someone that knows look these over for me please? My GP would only do TSH,, asked him twice. Would this be why I am having positive ANA results too? TSH was at 8.7 last month. I have a multi-nodular goiter too. No treatment loads of symptoms. STIMULATING

Are multiple nuclear dot ANA patterns ever seen in "normal" people?
Hey folks! I was hoping you all might be able to answer a few questions I haven't been able to answer on my own. For brief context, I've been experiencing a number of unknown health issues over the last several years. The TL;DR symptoms have been: - Soul-crushing fatigue - Arthritic pain for the first

Hospital docs reading notes after I've left!!!
Went for routine rheumatology appointment a few weeks ago. The doc dropped something on the floor as I walked in. She went down on hands and knees to pick it up but was down there for a few minuets to the point I asked if I should help, no she replied. I'm not used to doctors waving their bums at me

New here: AMA + GGT?
Hello, I'm a 30 year old female. Months ago I saw my family doctor about a range of symptoms and he did a bunch of tests. Initially the results showed ANA positive at 1:640 cytoplasmic reticular and AMA positive 1:320. I've seen a rheumatologist who referred me to a gastroenterologist, I'm still waiting

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
