I was already tested for parasites, hmmmm, guess I will go for the ANA, SED(not sure what this one is) and the RF testing.... Can your blood work be tottally normal and still have these problems?
Trudie is correct. And we both would add this piece of advice...spend some time in the sun prior to having your ANA tested. Maybe like an hour or two before, and also do something that would stress yourself out, like watch something scary or exciting. Different things stress people out. Everybody is different. I would just have to watch someone drive crazy...which is not hard to find... anywhere you would go.
It sometimes hits adults really bad, and the effects can last for weeks, months or years. It can also trigger autoimmune diseases, apparently.
Good luck! I know from experience that it's no fun being a medical mystery!!! I hope yours gets solved quickly.
Oh, and welcome to MedHelp lupus forum.
God bless, praying for you.
