I get confused when I see ANA positive and C reactive protein go up........I have had the marker tests for Lupus and they were negative and I thought I was out of the woods but apparently not as I am still being monitored. Has anyone lost weight suddenly with their fibro because they have either no appetite or they can no longer stand the taste of sugar?
CoreBee at this point I guess what we test positive for does not matter. I hope you do not though. It surely is a bitch! Hugs (((hugs)))
I am tested for Lupus every 6 months. My doc is almost convinced it is going to show. I have all the symptoms, including the rash (sometimes) but because my tests come back negative he won't classify me. I'm ok with that though. Who needs a label that could end up hurting me with insurance and such.
I have M.E. plus underactive thyroide with Fibro. Close cousin of mine suffers with Lupus most of lupus traits are similar to Fibro, she also has disconnective tissue.
Thanks @A MyFibroTeam Member I have had acid reflux for years...my enemies, chocolate, tea and anything with red sauce. So not fun!
I have acid reflex and I know since then I don't like when things are too sweet . Don't put sugar in coffee anymore. Don't like sodas anymore . But I still like certain sweets.....can't give it all up....darn..no I haven't lost any weight.
