Rheumatology appointment - not sure what to expect
I'm very new to this, so apologies in advance for being a bit clueless! I had a blood test done for ANA back in the spring and it came back positive, as did some of the subsequent ENAs. I'm not absolutely sure why the blood tests were done, except that my FBC kept coming back with a very low WCC. Anyway

After waiting 4.5 weeks to see a GP and going armed with an ammo of facts and figures all gleaned from previous posts, advice, suggested links and personal research I was bowled over to finally find

Newbie to this forum - hello everyone
I saw my GP in March for a routine health check and I told him my ankles and abdomen had become swollen - he ordered blood tests and an abdominal ultrasound. Test results showed Serum alkaline phosphatase level at 150 and Serum alanine aminotransferase level at 54 (both above the high reference limit

Intro
Evening all! I have not been diagnosed w/ MS, but I do have Lupus. I've been having some different issues lately that don't really line up with the Lupus.

Concerned by Raynaud symptoms and positive ANA
I’m 41 and have developed Raynaud symptoms. Not painful. But cold and a multitude of colours. Also hands flare when stressed. Coupled with that I was getting some hard, red spots on left hand. Went to doctor who carried out some blood tests. In the meantime the spots went away. Blood tests revealed

Hi everyone, I'm in desperate need of help. Last year in June I was sent to Rheumatology as I had hand and wrist pain and a low positive ANA test result. The conclusion was that there was no rheumatic findings, which I agreed with. At the end of my letter from consultant it states that if any more

Anti-Nuclear Antibodies May Confuse Lupus Diagnosis
Patients who may have lupus typically undergo an “ANA” test to detect anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs). Lupus Research Alliance Distinguished Innovator Award recipient Dr. Shu Man Fu of the University of Virginia and colleagues found that people who don’t have lupus also produce ANAs. This suggests that

Zytiga working but
My zytiga seems to be working. In one year PSA has gone from 1230 to 0.48. Alk Phos from 782 to 106. Now tests are showing low RBC and low hemoglobin, they suspect blood loss somewhere. Is drop in those counts normal with treatment?

FND and St. John’s Wort
My doctor prescribed Cymbalta but my health insurance denied it. I looked for a natural antidepressant online and saw St. John’s Wort. Has this helped anyone with FND? Please tell us your experience!

10 day difference in labs before and after pain medication
I went by ambulance to the ER for severe muscle spasms on left side of my back. They drew blood before giving me any medication. While waiting for results I was given an i.v. of morphine and some sort of muscle relaxer. All labs came back in normal range so I was released with instructions to take Naproxen

Hi- Have fatigue, joint pain, swollen glands, mouth ulcers, scaly red rash on face when in sun since Xmas but ANA test just back negative?
I’m 57 and realised I’ve had periods like this for over 20 years. Only when I developed the rash that I considered Lupus - it’s like reading about myself -

Did your loved ones want you to get a second opinion?
I recently told my parents about my primary doctor referring me to a rheumatologist for further evaluation, because I may need to switch back onto their health insurance for now since my current health insurance does not cover specialists (I am almost 24). Before I would go to a rheumatologist, though
