Well, today I had my frist appointment with the Rhumey.....
I now technically have Raynaud's...but he looked over all my test and blood work and said that the other doc missed one test to make sure that it was not Lupus. So they ran it, I think it was the RNP antibody test? I truly can't remember.
They took eight viles of blood so i couldn't really recall.
But he did think that I don't have Lupus but i that I might have Mixed Connective Tissue Disease/Disorder. I don't know if anyone of you all have heard about it but basically i can have the symptoms of Lupus but it not be Lupus.
I did get some meds for the Raynaud's but because I really low Blood Pressure, I might not be able to take it( because it is a blood pressure medication that they use to treat Raynaud's and they are afraid I might pass out!).
It is 95/60 today and was 85/58 a few days last week....so as you can see where that might be a problem!
So, I am just waiting on those other tests and we will find out more then!!
On another note(I just feel like venting), I am trying to get over my six/seventh sinus infection since November and they have me on 4000 mg of Augmenten a day. If I don't get rid of this sinus infection I am going to go crazy!
