Hi I am a 32 yr old female currently 18 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I have been sent to a rheumatologist and high risk obgyn due to abnormal blood tests and symptoms. I have the following: positive ANA 1:16. false positive rpr (syphlis test.) raynaud's phenomenon. arthritis in both knees and neck. probable photosensitive according to doctor with 6-8 weeks of nausea/vomiting over the last two summers. mild anemia. hx chronic uticaria/hives. pleuritis (according to doctor) chronic mouth ulcers (canker sores) that come and go. morning stiffness where it hurts to breathe in. peripheral neuropathy..(numbness/tingling hands/feet) comes and goes. The rheumatologist is currently running additional bloodwork..my question is don't my symptoms/test results already warrant/confirm a lupus diagnosis according to the 4 out of 11 criteria to diagnosis?? Thank you all so much for any info on this. |

I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
