Just wondering what are the normal tests run to moniter lupus? I get a yearly free blood draw at work, cbc, bmp, thyroid. that was done last may and will again be offered this may. recently had cbc, bmp jan 2nd for my pain doctor who is married to my rheumy, they share chart and office.
Is this the norm? seems like I see him every six months to just say hi :lol:
My symptoms, fatigue, joint pain and mild rash with sun exposure. I have a pretty mild case even though the pain dosent seem that way sometimes. I am on 200mg plaq twice daily. I am on other medications for pain, thyroid, blood pressure. Does anyone get yearly urine testing and if so is it just a urine, pee in the cup, or 24 hour collection?
I just want to make sure, I have no other family with lupus, had a co worker but she quit. she had milder symptoms than I do. Thanks, Lisa
