My specialist doctor declared it Fibromyalgia but Lupus is not in a clear yet since I had a 3rd blood test done reason being because of the false positive that resulted in my 1st blood test which was more accurate because there was enough blood to sacrifice so with the 2nd one I was barely able to produce enough blood as I explained to her and she appreciated my concern of why I did not approve of the 2nd test so for more of a clear test they did their own in their lab to clear it out of my doubt of what I thought was inaccurate. My inflammation was very high and she noticed that I was and still inflaming. So they took 5 more blood samples and she called them an complete idiot for not doing an xray on my spine just my elbow because it first started on my spine.
The medicine that I am being prescribed is Cymbalta and some other medication which I forgot what it is. But she was able to tell numbers wise I do not have Hiv I tested negative for that, I was ranked one point something out of 10 on my blood test for Lupus in the ANA test (antinuclear antibodies). I liked my doctor very much she was very funny, approachable, professional, the staff are very friendly, despite the 40 minute wait in the office. It was nice I was reading about medications for Lupus while I was waiting to be called and the crazy side effect was that it may cause cancer causing agents. I'm like uh no next medication please. I do not need that on top of my chronic illness problem.
So I am going to be on a 30 Day trial of Cymbalta to see if that helps me. I return to my specialist within 3-4 weeks to see if that helps. And my blood results. No offense to my primary care physician they should've called me after waiting a month on my blood test to say I tested negative on my 2nd blood test saying we have some good news for you. It was hell that my body was attacking me fully after having my blood withdrawn while its producing more blood. That I think was very unkind while the other medication barely helped. I've had to leave work probably twice early saying I am in severe pain loosing how ever many hours off my paycheck. It was just wrong.
So yes Lupus is not out of the clear until October 29th to find out my final blood result. Ugh I'm still inflaming from the blood sacrifices after 14 tubes within 4 months.
