Hey everyone I am feeling miserable, my whole body aches and I need to sleep all the time,
Doctor is confused about blood test, my ana is normal now ( it was always high)
but my dsdna has been extremely high now since Sept. In sept blood came back as high dsdna and high wbc count, in Jan my blood work came back high dsdna normal ana and low wbc (first time for wbc count to be low in over 2+ yrs)
My doctor said she called the lab to make sure the lab results were right and she said the lab didn't seem to understand the point of the ana and dsdna not jiving, so to speak. SO...again I gave about 10 vials of blood to see if anything has changed.
My ? is why is dsdna not matching ana I have all the symptoms of a lupus flare and I feel like crap, does anyone else have these kind of results and if so what does there doctor think!! My doctor thinks its a lupus flare and is treating it as one, but she is questioning the ana test!!
Help anyone!! I am back on high steriod treatment and the imuran after blood test come back hopefully she will switch me to metho and a anti malarial drug that is safe for my eyes, (can't be on plaqnial due to major eye problems)
I appreciate any input!! As always THANKS!!
