I have been sick for 10 months now. I started with mycoplasma pneumonia that took a few months of antibiotics to treat. I still have terrible malaise and intermittent chest pain. I have Raynauds. I have repeatedly tested positive for anticardiolipin antibodies and I have a high B2 glycoprotein. My ana in the spring was "boderline positive" I saw a rheumatologist 2 weeks ago who felt I had something brewing and put me on plaquenil. When she examined me she also mentioned that I had livedo on my arms and noticed my face is red. (It usually is.) I spoke with her today and she said that my blood came back perfect and I have no signs of inflammation. Other than the antiphospholipid antibodes everything came back normal including esr, c reactive protien, cbc, rf, ssa and ssb, I forgot what else. She told me to stop the plaquenil and that I do not have an autoimmune condition.
Here is my dilemma, I don't know if I should continue to pursue this and get a second rheumatology opinion, or if I should give up on it. I don't want to convince myself that I have something I don't have, but I don't trust the doctors anymore.
