Go home and have a baby !
At 25 I started with joint pain. First Rheumy I saw asked me how many children I had given birth to. (None, as I have antiphosolipid syndrome and couldn't get full term). He told me there was nothing wrong with me and to go home and have a baby to "take my mind off my imaginary illnesses". He then

Blood tests
Hi, My rheumy sent me a letter about recent blood tests. She said that it had shown up something that causes APS and Raynards. But I can't find a particular result that would diagnose the two. I did have a positive ANA which could apply to the Raynards but does it apply to APS as well? Regards

Can having PA give a positive ANA blood test result OR can a positive ANA possibly be PA(if you have many of the symptoms too of course)?

New here - any help/advice would be very gratefully accepted!
hello there I apologise in advance and say thank you to anyone who takes the trouble to read this. My history is quite a long one going back around four years. But in essence after many symptoms and an ANA test that came back positive (and I asked for) I was sent to a rheumy who investigated me

Hi to everyone I don't think I have posted before but regularly read comments and info on this site. It is very comforting and supportive
to realise that there are people out there that have similar if not exactly the same health issues and that I am not a hypochondriac as suggested by a lady consultant years ago. I was wondering if anyone can as i am now very confused. Years ago I was diagnosed with RA then about 7 years ago I was diagnosed

ANA Test
Just got off the phone to my GP my blood test were abnormal, and the doctor has accepted my telephone request for the ANA test, form awaiting me at the local hospital! I have an appointment then to see GP on 24th April. I'm hoping this is going to result in a referral to a specialist, not bad considering

Blood tests
Anyone have an idea how long I'm likely to wait for my results, I understand that some tests take time to "culture" or something like that, but I just asked the doctor to add on a ANA test as I've read it's result is a good indicator of Lupus,I've not heard back from him yet with an answer. Fingers crossed
