Help? New Test Results. Posted: 06-28-04 17:47pm
My first visit with my rhuemy was on june
16th. At that time she diagnosed me with
fibromyalgia and raynauds, prescribed
elavil and naprosyn and sent me to take
new bloods and x-ray of my hands. I was
referred to her by gp because of joint
pain, shortness of breath, hair loss,
sunsensitivity a host of other symptoms as
well as a positive ana 1:40 speckled,
rhuematoid factor high 34 and anti ds dna
14.0. Today I went to get a copy of the
recent blood work ( have not seen the
doctor to discuss the results yet) that
was done on the 16th. The ones that were
taken before are basically the same, but
the new ones i'm not sure about. I could
use some insight from you guys. thanks

Might I suggest going to www.Lupus.Org? They
have a great breakdown of these test
results...And what they mean!
