Hey everyone, I haven't been here in forever (not sure if anyone remembers me)... I hope everyone is doing well. I'm doing ok I guess, waiting for the one day when I feel good again (and still...
Either your rheumy or a neurologist, whichever one would see you faster....
So glad to hear her first treatment went well... love her attitude. Keeping her in my thoughts. thank you for keeping us updated Lynnwood....
Yes, lupus can cause some of those symptoms however so can other things. I would highly suggest getting a neuro workup by a neurologist and let them know all your symptoms and see what tests they...
I think that I've read on some of my meds that may be a side effect however I have no idea which one. There is also something called multiple chemical sensitivity, my cousin has that. No one can wear...

Hi superdoo, I'm not sure what test they did so I can only assume its the ANA test. I don't know how often it comes up or if it does in UC. I know a lot of symptoms can overlap, I actually had a...
Although extremely rare when you are untreated(no meds), you can be ANA negative and have lupus. If there is enough evidence to suspect a lupus diagnosis and your ANA is negative, some doctors will...
I like the Genteal gel drops. They also have a nightime one that is a bit thicker. If your eyes are really bad (putting in drops more than x amount of times per day), there is Restasis as mentioned...
