Recent blood test advice please
Hi and sorry I know this has been asked but I can’t find the pathology links - I’ve just had private blood test results. ANA positive, was in January when had GBS and was 6 years ago too with symptoms. Anti Ss A 2.48 so positive? And was before too. Various others indicated high red blood cell and lymph

Does this look like a lupus rash?
Hello, I hope everyone is doing great! I've never had any symptoms (no hair loss, joint pains, fever, fatigue etc.) and I only showed positive ANA after a neurological irelevant blood test. My neurologist ordered ALL the antibodies (ENA, b2, ANCA, AMA etc.) and they are all negative. But he said I should

Lupus diagnosis Incorrect???
Hi guys, i came on here back in june to talk about how i was diagnosed with SLE with only a positive ana and clinical symptoms, my rheumatologist at the time said even if my further blood tests came back positive this is most likely the diagnosis since lupus can take forever to show in the blood work

New to lupus
I have been diagnosed with lupus Positive ANA double stranded DNA. Reading the posts on the site has scared me and I feel more anxious. Do you get better? It’s all seems so bad and frightening.

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a while!
I've got about a year or so history of blood tests showing my thyroid levels not being quite right; I have been discharged by the endocrinology department and my GP has said she is unable to get me medication as it goes against NHS guidelines. My latest blood tests were: TSH 1.18 (range 0.27 - 4.2) T4

On bone marrow biopsy (BMB)?
Hello everyone, People with PV/ET regularly (e.g., per month) test their blood to keep track of cell counts and other things. How about bone marrow biopsy (BMB)? Are there repeats of BMB test to check changes after the first one that was performed to detect any mutation like JK2 ? If yes, how the results

What does ANA positive mean?
If you are ANA positive does it mean you have Lupus, or can it mean something else? New to the group and so glad I found you

Newly positive S.L.E. test
Hi all, just joined. I’ve had a number of symptoms of lupus over the years, but not the butterfly rash or joint swelling or pain. I recently had the ana test which came back positive and have been referred to a rheumatologist. There aren’t any appointments currently and with waiting lists I may not be

Got blood work results back today
My naturopath drew blood for my thyroid and ANA test last week. Got the results today and no surprise but thyroid's way out of wack. New prescriptions should help get me closer to where I need to be. BUT the surprise, to me anyway, is that my ANA is negative. I asked the doc then about my PMR since it

Granuloma Annulare? Mis diagnosed rash? Anyone else?
Hello, Hope you’re all well, managing symptoms and keeping safe. I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience... I’ve had all the symptoms of lupus the past 2 years, my bloods have shown inflammation, and a weakly positive Ana, then fluctuates, to normal and raised. Rhuemy said this ain’t

Well! I just don't know what I have.
Over the last few months I have been on the NRAS forum - chatting away as it was the site I was directed to. Diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis, with moderate disease activity and later Sicca and a positive Schirmar test. Have been on MTX injections, Leflunomide and now HYD and PRED. The first two

AIH diagnoses with asymptomatic patients, questions and my story
Thought I'd write here, I've been googling for a few weeks now about AIH and it's pretty hard to find support group forums other than this. I'm not from the UK, but cant find anything in my own country. I'd love to hear some stories how one got diagnosed with mild lft elevations and how long it took

Do I need increase in NDT or Liothyronine? Advice much appreciated!
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed hypo many years ago, surviving on ever increasing Levo, insomnia, weight gain and high BP before seeing a private Endo 9months ago. I already had full tests for folate, B12, ferritin etc and all were good. I am a poor converter ( homozygous fault for DiO2) and now, thankfully

Getting a diagnosis?
Hi SRUK, I've been following the work and updates of SRUK for a few years now with great interest. My physical health declined in 2008 and after various appointments with different departments (neurology, orthopaedics and lastly Chronic Pain Services) it was suggested I most likely have Fibromyalgia

Hi I wrote a couple of weeks ago regarding my fears I may have Lupas. I’ve had stacks of blood tests. I get the results tomorrow. Does a negative ANA test mean Lupas is unlikely? I have another recent problem. My hands and feet are on fire they feel like they are burning and nothing helps. This has
