recently I went to the doctors because of
aching and swelling in all my joints. It
was and still is driving me nuts. He
took my blood and the antinuclear antibody
test came back positive with a titre level
of 1:320. The c reactive protein test
came back mildly elevated too. I have no
energy but then at night I cant sleep cos
of the aches, I am not hungry at all, my
joints are swelling, I keep getting an
itchy rash on my legs and I have really
bad mood swings. I just wanted to see if
this sounds like lupus as on my results it
says its positive and is occasionally
lupus. My doctor doesnt seem that
worried but I am. Just would like to
know whats going on. Any help or advice
you can give me would be greatly
appreciated.
