Diagnosis
My GP diagnosed me with SLE yesterday. I see the rheumy on the 20th. I haven't had the ANA test yet but I'm pos. For lupus anticoagulant. Pretty sure I have sjogrens too and have for quite some time. Got diagnosed with FMS back in 1997 after a bout of pneumonia and pleurisy. Never felt the same after

Miserable
I was dx. In 2015 with pbc. I am a 60 year old woman. Looking back at my test results, I have had this since 2011 and the dr I was seeing at the time treated me for depression. Today I am still tired, even more so, and my bones hurt all over. I see a rehmatologist next week. I have a positive ANA also

ANA Tests
The antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is widely used as a serological marker of autoimmune disease. Antinuclear antibodies are immunoglobulins or antibodies that bind to one or more antigens expressed within the nucleus of human cells. Used selectively, the ANA test can be a useful laboratory tool to help

ANA positive?
A little confused about my ANA test. Result says positive. Flag for abnormal. Reference interval - negative? Does tgis mean it's positive? BC my dr didn't explain and she just kind of brushed me off...again. Rashes still pop up randomly every day. And tired. So tired of being tired. : (
