Hi everyone,
Update on me.....most recent I visited a Infectious disease doctor because I was told I have Lyme and needed to treat that b4 re testing for lupus.
Well, the ID doctor told me he did not feel I had Lyme and wrote a blood script to be re tested for Lyme. He said it is most specific for Lyme. It was called a DNA PCR.
Anyway, I got the results and there was no Lyme detected.....he was right.
So, he told me to get my butt back to the Rheumy doctor because he said it is either Lupus or a MCTD. I told him I found a better Rheumy doctor and I go on the 25th of this month.
So, now I do not have Lyme and I guess knowing this then the blood test results I got back last month really do point to Lupus.
Gosh, I feel like a ping pong ball and the doctors are holding the paddles and having a great time hitting me back and forth between them.
All I want is a dx and a name to go with it. I was UN-DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS last month which is great yet I still have no answers.
Ever feel like your going back in time instead of forward???
Rant over, thanks for listening.:wink2:
