Hello everyone...
I posted last week when I started showing Raynaud's on my feet and my doc ran the ANA, since I have other symptoms also, and it was positive. Well, I go back again this week, just to have the ANA reran, to see what it will show.
couple of questions...
Will my ANA change much, like from positive to negative or something in a couple of weeks? it was only 1:160, didnt know to ask the pattern.
well i have another cold from the kids, it is my third one in about a month and a half. but today i noticed Peteciae on my arms, legs and belly. not severe, but noticable, nonetheless. I am a nurse, and my sister has ITP, so i know what they are.
Just wondering if this should be a concearn or not. Should i just give the MD a call monday, and let her know? or just write it off as the cold virus i am experiencing. about a month or more ago she ran cbc, and all those and said that they were fine, so i dunno.
she did say that if this ANA comes back positive too, then there is a bunch more diagnostic workup i will be put through. just getting ancie, about all this. thanks for all of the support and comments in advanced.
