Not sure what all goes on with me. Run fevers each month, feel blah and health care here sucks. Doctors have told me everything from I need a Dr. House to I'm too complicated for them so I just take me as I am.

I am a mystery wooooooo!

i have never been tested, but something weird i've noticed is that when allergies flare here which is every day my tats swell to a very noticeable degree. i don't want to be tested for anything else as the list of my Dx is already a page long, but i do feel like my body is fighting itself...go figure.

I do... Lupus

These are the ones I test positive=

Juvenile RA

Reactive arthritis: inflammation of joints, urethra, and eyes; may cause sores on the skin and mucus membranes.

Inflammatory bowel diseases: a group of inflammatory diseases of the colon and small intestine;

Polymyalgia Rheumatica

There are a few other rare reactions ( brain things ) that my neuro cannot define without brain tests but not a good idea! Brain demylination which is my brain dissing itself which is what causes some of the weird body sensations. After a fever of unknown etiology the white matter in my brain increases. Not a good thing.

I am very happy with my medical team as they are open and honest when they are clueless and/or do continue with finding solutions when I ask.

I have Scleroderma and hydradenitis which has caused my immune system to shit the bed. With the problems I've had since being 14, it gets tiring after awhile. I know all of you feel the same or worse.

Love and hugs,

I don't remember what it's called, but was told it fell under the Autoimmune category, I have the Chromogenic ten factor in my blood, meaning I have the Lupus gene in my blood, but I don't have nor do any of my Drs feel I've ever have Lupus, thank God.

I wonder sometimes if I don't have Fibro just because my joints always seem to hurt and I have many of the symptoms. The problem with some of those systems though is they're so vague they could mean just about anything.

i wonder was bitten by tick but was tested in the 90s i read test where no real good , i wonder about limes disease i was bitten on shasta mountain there was tons of them , it was embedded in my neck , my dad got it out
it was full, i lived in old miner shack up in the mountains, no electric, no running water we did it like the old days . but the nature was abundant i loved that did not care for rattle snake they had big one up there , i got to see king snake and rattle snake fight it out , i stood there transfixed it was amazing ill never forget ,min

I looked into this. Yes, it would seem so. I have arthritis in different areas. I have diabetes, type 1. Diabetes leads to many conditions which would be considered autoimmune. But, I will not let any of this get me down. I am living today. And, I plan on living, Today!!!

Ummmm,..... He He,..... Yup,... I have them too,.....
