Christmas Chuckle
Holiday time is for feasting; We look forward to each treat. The tables are full of our favorite foods; We’ve got lots of good things to eat. We scarf marshmallowed sweet potatoes; There’s cider and eggnog to slurp. There’s so much going down at once, Who can help an occasional burp? Here’

Another autoimmune disease?
So I am interested in finding out how any folks on this forum had or have PMR and were diagnosed with another autoimmune disease. I believe my Dr. thinks I will develop another disease because I have a positive ANA. Anyone who cares to share, I appreciate it.😘

Real world experience with Besremi in ET and PV following exposure to Pegasys.
Abstract Despite widespread use of Pegylated forms of Inteferon in the management of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN), most clinicians have experience predominantly with peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys). Third generation pegylated IFNα, ropeginterferon alfa-2b (ropegIFN; Besremi), was recommended

Does Multiple Positive ANA Tests Usually Mean Autoimmune Disease?
Hi everyone, I have posted on here multiple times so I will keep this short. Since 2020, I have now had 4 positive ANA test results, all homogenous. They were 1:640, 1:1280, greater than 1:1280, and 1:640. I have been on Naltrexone now for over a year I believe. Symptoms have a habit of coming and

Extremely Discouraged
Hi everyone. I sit here wondering how to share my thoughts. I am so discouraged at this point and have no idea where to turn. I have been dealing with symptoms for years now. No matter how many doctors I see, none of them will truly entertain the idea of an autoimmune disease. Despite all my symptoms

Thyroid and Positive ANA Test
I have an under active thyroid and have been on 150 Levothyroxine for a few years. Latest blood tests show my thyroid is where it should be. Last year my hands and feet got painful and swollen and X-rays of my hands show osteoarthritis. Doc ordered more blood tests to check,for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Positive ANA
Does PA cause a positive ANA test result? I had two positive results back in 2018 but the man negative in 2021 and April 2022. I had labs done last week due to some symptoms I’ve been having and my ANA came back positive. Odd thing is there were several labs listed for the ANA patters but all came back

Positive ANA (1:1280, Homogenous) Very Symptomatic, All Other Antibodies Negative
Hi everyone! I am starting on year 3 of trying to figure out what my diagnosis is, but year 6 of symptoms. My ANA has been 640, 1280, and then greater than 1280, then suddenly last test negative. I have checked this box and know that, despite the previous negative ANA, something is definitely wrong.

Keeping Interferon refrigerated
Hi, I've recently started taking Peginterferon alfa-2a, and I keep it in my fridge because that's what the instructions say. I'm going to visit my girlfriend in Scotland a week tomorrow. My journey is going to take two days, so I'll leave home on Saturday morning, stay in a hotel halfway on Saturday

High Positive ANA Suddenly Negative - Still Struggling With Symptoms
Hi everyone! I will try to keep this as brief as I can, but it's a long story. I am 24, but have been experiencing medical issues since I was 15. It started out as severe migraines, which blessedly have gone away; however I now deal with a host of other symptoms. These include frequent headaches, memory

Interferons as the First Choice of Cytoreduction in ET and PV
»Interferons are a group of cytokines with immunomodulatory properties and were the first immune therapies used in the treatment of cancers, including hematologic malignancies. Use of standard interferon alfa-2b for MPN treatment has been limited by its difficulty in administration and adverse effect

Is twitching a particularly hypothyroid symptom?
I have been twitching in a part of my body - upper right rib cage on back / under right arm - for the last 3 or 4 days. Have been having a distinct flare of numerous health problems over the last 2 weeks. I know that I am low in ferritin (12 the last time measured, which was in June) but know nothing

4 months and no answers!
Heads up: this is a vent post about how much this SUCKS! OK, so the story is, I’ve been off work for the past 4 months with exertional breathlessness and no cause. They know my heart is involved, but every single cardiac test (stress test, CPCA, halter, PET/CT, cardiac MRI) has come back normal. CPET
