Hello everyone!
Ive just been to the rheumy. I am puzzled. Really puzzled. He is a nice guy no doubt but....So! He says to me its lupus, he is sure of that. I must say the only tests done are ANA ( positive, no titre given), RF is negative and Anti CCP antibodies is also negative, and usual anaemia.
Is it that simple?! Ive seen people on this site struggling to get a d/x and mine gets popped out in a second! He didnt asked further tests either, just one - ENA for lupus.
Treatement changed to slow decrease of predisone to 10mg/day and 2 methotrexate/week.
Also he said I could eat whatever I want no restrictions, no ideas...
I want to see other doctors..not that Im fghting the idea of lupus but can it be so easy to diagnose?!
