Hi I am a 41 year old with a few autoimmune problems,I have vitiligo,lichen planus,underactive thyroid and in the past have had nerve problems and lung problems!
I have just come back from the doctors and have been told I tested positive for ANA antinuclear bodies,I asked for the results and she said 1 in 40?
There was also a pattern in primary biliuary cirosis?
And I have a chest infection!
She has requested more blood tests next week.
So now I know why I have felt cr*p all week !The doctor mentioned SLE and will refer me to a Frances Hall at Addenbrookes, I live in Lincolnshire.I was given co-codomal and 14 day supply of antibiotics, I must admit I had a few tears in there too.
Does this mean I have SLE? or will the rhemutologist diagnose me?
I feel like many others, I have been struggling with this for years but have always thought its in my head. I self certified this week and was given a week sick certificate, I couldnt face work this week and feel slightly better for being in the warm.(my job involves being outside).
Thanks for having such an informative friendly site.Hope to speak with you all soon.
