Clotting question
I have been taking a natto k enzyme (helps with sticky blood) since rheumy said my bloodwork even though I had a positive ANA, doesn't mean I have lupus and said because I can bike ride far, I do not have lupus. My question is, for anyone that has clotty blood from SLE could it be that when I have several

Fibromyalgia? and more tests
Well, saw a fourth GP yesterday. My first GP who'd sent me to the neuro has left, the second was a guy who clearly didn't care and told me all my tests were 'clear' and when I looked at the screen and asked why one was 'flagged' he said 'oh yes, your vitamin D is low', the third just sent me away with

Stopped taking all meds
Hi, I am after some advice. I was diagnosed with sle January 2012 after years of joint pain, rash and fatigue. I was prescribed hydroxychloroquine 400mg daily. It made no difference so I was prescribed methotrexate 17.5mg. Again it made no difference. Over the summer things were pretty bad so I was also

I have a couple of questions about this. I had 2 positive ANA tests and 2 negative. The drs all mentioned lupus. It started when i couldnt use either of my hands, even to lift a drink to my mouth and my arm dr checked my ANA and asked if i knew of lupus. (then followed was hemotologist) not ONE has said

Loss of sense of smell
I suddenly realised about 18 months ago that I have lost some of my sense of smell. This started with bleach and cat pee (!!) but has gradually got worse until when I was out with my Mum a couple of weeks ago I realised I couldn't smell the flowers she was raving about :( Similarly my sense of taste

Now what?
Following on my 'pushed pillar to post' post. Have seen my GP who confirms I have an auto-immune response throughout my nervous system - inflammation in my CNS apparently but they don't know what. They found O bands in my spinal fluid which may/may not be MS (my neurologist had ruled it out after clear

Unsure if have lupus
Hi, I'd be grateful for any advise as I'm feeling really stuck. I saw gp back in sept as had been suffering bad fatigue, migraine type headaches aggravated by light, muscle aches and feeling really down, this had been ongoing for 2-3 months after bad chest infection and I was also pregnant at the time

Migraine aura and Lupus?
Hello all, hope you are feeling well today! I was wondering if any of you get Migraine with aura along with Lupus? I was diagnosed with Migraine Aura, after it being ignored by GPs for a long time. I get horrible episodes of light, halos and zig zags, so much I can hardly see. I go slightly numb down

ANA blood test in September, results back end of November...
Hi all, I've been feeling very ill for a long time, I am 21 years old but feel like I'm 80. I've seen countless doctors and I've been pushed around, ignored and patronised. Finally, I got the diagnosis of endometriosis. Before that I had an ANA blood test done, for weeks after all was silent. I began

Good doctors in Bournemouth?
After being let down time and time again, I've not been to a doctor for about 4 years. I have had a chest infection for 3-4 weeks and I honstly felt I'd rather end up in A&E than ever have to look at my doctors face ever again. I had 2 positive ANA tests, positive lupus coagulant test, low end of normal

Waiting on Diagnosis
I have recently been to Rheumatology after being referred by my GP following a positive ANA result. I have now been recalled for more blood tests including Haemochromatosis due to high transferrin saturation. My Cons thought I maybe 'borderline' Lupus and I am a bit confused. My symptoms have included

Will I be put on meds for discoid lupus?
Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me what will happen now that I have been diagnosed with discoid lupus? I have a lot of mild symptoms of SLE but my ANA test was negative. I was given Elocon cream and told to return to dermy in 6-8 weeks. I wasn't given anything for my other symptoms though. Feeling confused

Confussed
Yesterday went to rheumatologist to get test results. He had said when I went in before, he was pretty sure it was RA. After getting tests back RF is negative but ANA positive, now I don't know if RA or Lupus. ANA can be positive in RA too I guess. Started me on PLAQUENIL 200mg 2 times per day.
