Just been to see the doctor regarding my blood results...

My vitamin D was extremely low so been given a booster course for 7 weeks👍🏼

Tested positive/high for nuclear antibodies and also my rheumatoid were high/positive suggesting an auto immune disease relating to my tissues, muscles, bones🤷🏽‍♀️

So been referred to the rheumatology department at my local hospital and now waiting for an appointment👍🏼

Glad something is finally being done after all these years struggling, let’s see what happens next💞

I misread that as Doctors feral 🤣

So glad you are getting help. I have been struggling for 8 years because I had only been diagnosed with FMS. Last week I got confirmation from a consultation with Rheumatologist it is an autoimmune condition. Need comprehensive bloods to establish which one. Waiting on my hospital appointment. 😊

I have been through every emotion since they finally listened 🤦‍♀️

Oh god that would be a strange heading😂

Glad you are finally getting some help too! Believe me I know the struggle I’ve been going through it since I was 12 and no one listened🤦🏽‍♀️

Wishing you all the best!💞

That is a long time 🤦‍♀️

I had sJIA when I was 4 but it wasn't till I hit exhaustion at 17 that my health started sucking. When I flared at 28 I knew something had changed. I wonder if it is all connected to when I was 4.

At least we are getting listened to. Looking forward to an update 👍

Good luck ❤
