Well 4 years later and after a second successful pregnancy, I have been nursing my daughter for 2 years with no rash and no problems other than intermittent IBS-diarrhea which I've had for many years.
My question is, should I repeat my bloodwork for autoantibodies when I'm feeling well? Could they possibly come back negative this time? Is the fact that I had an autoimmune flare of some sort a guarantee than something is brewing inside me? What does a positive ANA, RF and ASMA point to?
