Lupus Diagnosis - plaqune or anti-meds ? Posted: 10-19-07 22:34pm
Hi everybody,
I'm so glad I found you all here kinda
makes me feel not so alone!!!!
Have been doing the medic go round for
many years now possible diagnosis went
from lupus to ms to lupus to ms to motor
neurone disease to ms now finally it is
official as I have tested positive for
ANA, ESR, Anaemia, also past history of
low positive antiphospholipid antibody and
thrombocytopaenia plus more symptoms then
you could poke a stick at, including 6
miscarriages!
It came at a time when I had stopped
looking for answers but was referred to a
immunologist/allergist for allergy
testing. He looked at my history and
started asking questions which were lupus
related and I was just like "been through
all this before" and didn't want to
discuss it at all!!!
sent me for a stack of blood tests and
bingo!!!
Initial reaction was blase "oh yeah, not
surprised" then next day total shock,
yesterday so depressed and today just
numb.
I am a single mum of seven ranging from 25
down to 2 so have a busy life to say the
least. I am anti meds and refused it first
day but by next day called him to say I
want to try it (plaqunel) but he hasn't
called back yet!!!
My faith in God has kept me this far and
will continue to be my rock!!!
