So I had to chance to make an walk in appointment after my daughter had to get a medical permission slip to have sun screen put on her. I think its stupid overall. But I am happy that I was able to walk in and get my "2nd" test from my ANA stating its negative for Lupus when it was Highly Positive the first time. Excuse me on this why in the hell would it show up the first time and not the second? Did sacrificing 9 test tubes of my blood scare away Lupus? |
If it was that damn simple everybody would be donating blood. Let me tell you why I do not trust the 9th blood test because I have given so much blood within one month I couldn't even fill up the tube not even half. So my doctor after she was so thrilled to tell me it could be possibly fibromyalgia. After one month waiting for a damn blood test result you couldn't have told me sooner?
I want to have two negative results not just one positive (first test) and one negative (last blood test) so when I finally see my rheumatologist (yay I spelled it correctly without google!) to get a final test making it a 3rd result to make it an official diagnosis.
So when researching Fibromyalgia apparently its cousins with Lupus just by the symptoms alone so here's a chart of the symptoms I've put together so you can see what I mean.

I've added images so you can see.
So there it is you can see why I call them cousins. From that I have read that Lupus can be tied in with Fibromyalgia. I can have both or one of the "chronic illnesses" out there.
I am not deleting this webpage I have made or changing it all I'll add Fibromyalgia to the list of topics forum.
In the mean time enjoy this image of a three legged kitten that I temporarily and hopefully it'll be permanent soon.
