Positive test result

I had a physical a couple of weeks ago. I've been very fatigued lately. Also, while still in college, I had a positive test come back for lupus. The doctors have never diagnosed me with lupus though because I haven't had enough of the symptoms.

Well, I got the results back and my lupus test came back twice as positive as it ever has. I am a little concerned about why this would be. I have been advised to follow up with the rheumatoid doctor that I saw 5 years ago for this same thing. I feel overwhelmed about going through this process of more tests and more doctor visits (and to only be given vague answers).

I've had 2 normal pregnancies, which would be highly unlikely if I really did have lupus. I'm very thankful that all of my other tests came back absolutely normal. Lupus can affect your kidneys, liver and other organs, so I am glad that everything else appears to be great.

I am sure that you are going to be ok.

I have missed you, my friend. I really need to stop by the school or we should get together to get caught up. (I need to be filled in on all the school stuff!) At least we get to read each other's blogs.

PS - Did you know that Zeke our dog has lupus? He is on two pills a day, but the DR. says that he will be just fine. I am sure that helps you to feel better :)
