Can you dig up that ANA?

A positive ANA is not nothing, along with a sed rate of 130! Good grief. Don't see that rheumatologist again.

The thing with lupus is that it can come and go, depending upon exacerbating factors. Some people have signs all the time though. Test results can also be positive and then negative. Those tests are best to do when someone is in a flare. I volunteered for the locus lupus foundation, which is why I got to know the disease so well. Well, that and a couple docs thought for a number of years that I might have it (don't).

You can do things with your diet that would help inflammation. Are you interested, or have you already made adjustments?

Thanks for bringing that up, Kiwi. I know she mentioned that before but it's a few posts back!

Get those results and share if you can! You need a very good rheumatologist.
