I too am in the same type of situation. It's strange... for approx. 18 years, my labs have shown a possitive speckled ANA with a higher titer level. But, it's always been the Fibro that's showing the worst symptoms. This last time I went to the rheumy though- I had commented on my low-grade fevers, more than normal swollen joints, and cold sores in my nose and mouth. She really thought it was my Lupus acting up. Guess what?! They checked the blood work and my ANA showed negative. I'm still thinking the lab screwed up, like accidently switched my tube or something. Who knows. Anyway, I just wanted to say- I'm right there with ya on the Fibro vs. Lupus thing. Hang in there! "When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place." ~Unknown |
"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....
