Your bloodwork is very similar to mine, actually. About two months ago, I came up ANA+ (weak positive, 1:80), but am anemic (low hemoglobin, low hematocrit), borderline vit d deficient (I already take 2,000 IUs a day), and vitamin b12 deficient. None of my tiers came up positive, and my physician did not request the complement testing as she thought the rheumatologist would have. On consultation with the rheumatologist, she blew off all of my testing due to my hashimoto’s. I’m waiting to get a second opinion.

I’d be interested in what your doctors come up with, or what others oh this forum have to say.

I have low hemoglobin and hematocrit, and high RDW and platelets. I have a B12 insufficiency and D deficiency. How likely is it that I have lupus? Should I get an other ANA test along with the anti-dsDNA and ENA tests done now, or wait until my next appointment (which is in 2 months…)?

See a rheumatologist!

They want to do another test but I don’t have insurance and I’m not able to work and the test is around $220. I was given prednisone for 5 days which really helps but once it’s gone, my pain returns. It’s a pain I wouldn’t want anyone to have.

I have several s/s along with the butterfly rash. Also lately I have had a rash on my forehead and temple area. I also do not have insurance. All my life all I have heard is that I have inflammation. Take this and it will clear up!?? What do you suggest???
