Blood test results: investigation Lupus/Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Hi all, Currently under investigation and received requested blood tests ahead of next appointment. My immunoglobulin M is below range and so is complement 3 & 4. I’m also confused by the other results for different antibodies and have no idea what it all means! 6 months ago tested ANA 1:80 titre

which type of CLL fast progression or slow progression might be this?
I have been quite active during the past few days to read different posts and ask questions about CLL as I am curious to explore something interesting so that it may be helpful to my wife as she is recently diagnosed CLL? I found experts and members are very cooperative in this CLL club. We are not

Antiphospholipid Antibodies
Antiphospholipid antibodies are antibodies directed against phosphorus-fat components of your cell membranes called phospholipids, certain blood proteins that bind with phospholipids, and the complexes formed when proteins and phospholipids bind. Approximately 50% of people with lupus possesses these

??? Labs for ocrevus
Per webinar Dr Thrower indicated because somewhat increased risk covid severity on B cell depleted (Ocrevus, rituxan, kisimpta), you should have your immune function assessed. He suggested the following labs: cd19/20, T cell subsets, lymphocytes, IgG and IgM. I wondered what others were doing ?

Positive ANA and anti-DNA
Hi everyone, I’m new here. I just had a question I was hoping someone might be able to answer. My blood work came out positive for ANA with elevated anti-DNA and Immunoglobulin M. Does this mean I have lupus? What if I am showing few other symptoms and all the other blood work was fine? Thanks so much

Can you have Polymyalgia with normal CRP and ESR?
My GP says my bilateral shoulder and hip pain cannot be polymyalgia because my blood tests are normal. My pain started in the last 6 weeks. Worse in the morning. I am 80, northern European and Swedish descent. I also have other autoimmune diseases: celiac, PCOS and they run in my family: Crohn's,

Hi! I first wanted to thank everyone on this forum, for educating me on APS. I had two positive blood tests - B2Gp1 IgM - seven years ago and I was not medicated. My other APS antibodies were WNL. This June - I had an unexpected stroke - which is odd at age 51 with no heart issues. I was given an APS

Tiny flame of hope
Hello, it’s me again. I wanted to share something somewhat encouraging even though it doesn’t count. There was one test that my Rheumatologist didn’t post and I asked for it even though I was expecting to see a negative and it was the cardiolipin antibodies. My only positive result was an IGM of 13.

I've taken the in-house antibody test
Even after 6 years of GCA and daily pred and monthly blood tests. I still find it difficult to have blood take from me. That's what the antibody test required and it took a week for me to summon up the courage for the tiny finger prick. After the traumatic experience I had to take a photo of the blood

Blood results... Any ideas?
Hi everyone 😊 I had some blood tests done recently but don't have an appointment with the rheumatology team until September, and I can't decipher what they mean on my own. I know no one here is a medic so I'm not looking for a diagnosis of anything, but just some input from people who can hopefully

Beta2Glycoprotein1 IgM positive for APS - anyone the same?
Hi ! I was recently diagnosed with APS after having a stroke. I tested positive only for Beta2 Glycoprotein1 Ig M. I tested positive for this 7 years ago, so it’s defiantly positive. Does Anyone tested positive for this one marker, and if so how are you treating it - what anti coagulant? Now I am on

Help! - 12 year old RF + IgG 92.9 IgM 20 IgA 24.8 - but CCP test negative - symptoms of RA in Spine - but doctor thinks we are crazy!
So its been almost a year trying to figure out what has been wrong with my daughter - it started out last July (2019) with symptoms of dizziness, slight back pain, and numbness and tingling - we have now progressed to severe back pain (like she can't take it anymore) with more dizziness and now legs

Immunoglobulin numbers changing - Flare?
Hi all, A few months ago I got sick. I actually thought it was an infection since some of my more regular flare symptoms were mild or not present for the first two weeks and then I felt better until crashing again. It’s been 2 months of 80/20 awful to “bleh” days. Randomly we decided to test my: IgG

IgM
I’m wondering how many of you have had elevated IgM, and what your dr did to follow up. Mine was elevated July 2019. My internist ran the test and nothing said. My hep knows it was elevated and during my visit with him Friday, he mentioned it but seems he disregarded it. I’m not sure what I think. Seems

Hi, had a punch skin biopsy done on my arm few months ago and it says “direct immunoflourescence shows granular deposition of IgM at the dermo-epidermal junction, together with fibrinogen in occasional dermal vessels”. Says is non diagnostic but suggests connective tissue disease. Just wondering has

Blood test
My last three blood test have flagged up a low igM My Gp has asked my permission to contact Haematology to see if further tests are needed. Has this been a problem with anyone else ? I was diagnosed with PMR September 2019 and currently taking 6mg daily prednisolone

Doctor Mike Hansen YouTube of may 6th autopsy findings
I saw his previous video had been posted so I thought I would point out this latest you tube. Sorry I do not know how to link on my iPad. He discusses the relationship of APS and CAPS, that infamous cytokines storm. I wondered if there was not some relationship when they were speaking of the antibody
