ANCA and ANA positive
I've been ill for about 8 years, recently we've been leaning towards lupus. My ANA is 1:1280 and has been for a while, but I'm told my ANCA is now weakly positive? I'm not really sure what this means. Symptom wise I get rashes, severe joint pain, pain while breathing and breathlessness, oral and nasal

Positive ANCA with positive ANA
My ANA is 1:1280 - and has been for a while, but i just found out the ANCA test was weakly positive? What does this mean? I am still working on getting a full diagnosis (I've been ill for about 8 years) and we have been leaning towards lupus, but the ANCA is not an indicator for lupus is it?

Lupus or Lyme?
I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2012 with strongly positive ANA results. I have the fatigue, joint pain, mouth ulcers etc. I am on Hydroxychloroquine. The onset was quite sudden and followed menopause. However, I had also been working in long grass for some time-a place likely to contain ticks. My question

New and Unsure about me
Hi I am new here and was wondering about symptoms of Lupus. My doctor is sending me to a rheumatologist to see what he says about my latest blood work. I had a positive ANA but the double strand was negative. My red blood cells are low, I am anemic for no reason, b12, and iron are fine, and the folic

Does Pegylated interferon alfa-2a cure ET? Some paper show yes. Is this credible?
I found a paper Quintás-Cardama A, Kantarjian H, Manshouri T, et al. Pegylated interferon alfa-2a yields high rates of hematologic and molecular response in patients with advanced essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera[J]. Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2009, 27(32): 5418-5424. This show the

Fibromyalgia? and more tests
Well, saw a fourth GP yesterday. My first GP who'd sent me to the neuro has left, the second was a guy who clearly didn't care and told me all my tests were 'clear' and when I looked at the screen and asked why one was 'flagged' he said 'oh yes, your vitamin D is low', the third just sent me away with

Stopped taking all meds
Hi, I am after some advice. I was diagnosed with sle January 2012 after years of joint pain, rash and fatigue. I was prescribed hydroxychloroquine 400mg daily. It made no difference so I was prescribed methotrexate 17.5mg. Again it made no difference. Over the summer things were pretty bad so I was also

Loss of sense of smell
I suddenly realised about 18 months ago that I have lost some of my sense of smell. This started with bleach and cat pee (!!) but has gradually got worse until when I was out with my Mum a couple of weeks ago I realised I couldn't smell the flowers she was raving about :( Similarly my sense of taste

Now what?
Following on my 'pushed pillar to post' post. Have seen my GP who confirms I have an auto-immune response throughout my nervous system - inflammation in my CNS apparently but they don't know what. They found O bands in my spinal fluid which may/may not be MS (my neurologist had ruled it out after clear

Unsure if have lupus
Hi, I'd be grateful for any advise as I'm feeling really stuck. I saw gp back in sept as had been suffering bad fatigue, migraine type headaches aggravated by light, muscle aches and feeling really down, this had been ongoing for 2-3 months after bad chest infection and I was also pregnant at the time

Migraine aura and Lupus?
Hello all, hope you are feeling well today! I was wondering if any of you get Migraine with aura along with Lupus? I was diagnosed with Migraine Aura, after it being ignored by GPs for a long time. I get horrible episodes of light, halos and zig zags, so much I can hardly see. I go slightly numb down

ANA blood test in September, results back end of November...
Hi all, I've been feeling very ill for a long time, I am 21 years old but feel like I'm 80. I've seen countless doctors and I've been pushed around, ignored and patronised. Finally, I got the diagnosis of endometriosis. Before that I had an ANA blood test done, for weeks after all was silent. I began
