Adolase and creatitine kinase are normal. I was in a lot of pain - muscle, joint and tendons. My rapid bowel transit went away for 3 months when they started cellcept but returned with the pain. I also have a vascular rash on my extremities, the rheumy calls livedo reticularis. And a rash on my face constantly - looks like a butterfly to me. They did another bunch of antibody tests including ANA - all negative. But my sed rate sky rocketed, BUN is now slightly high and my urinalysis has moderate wbc, rbc and no bacteria, I am anemic again with very high RDW. I think I might have Lupus too.

They upped the prednisone to 20 mg per day. And the pain and the rapid bowel transit has subsided again. Rash looks the same.

thanks
