Well wouldn't you know. Been looking at my hubby and autoimmunue issues wondering why my son's sed rate and c-Reactive get so high some times. His ANA is a mild positive but due to the collagen disorder he has as well as the kids.
Never ever had my bloodwork done. My sed is fine but my C-reactive is 11. I have to get it repeated and if high again be evaluated for autoimmune stuff like arthritis and Lupus. Waiting still on my ANA. So ticked at myself I did not do this last year when my joints hurt bad. I am feeling great now (funny how lack of stress takes care of that). Wonder if lab results would have been higher then. Wonder if my sons rheumy will have insight.
She keeps looking to my hubby and I for answers to my son. I am an idiot for not getting this bloodwork sooner. But the focus was really on my hubby. What is I missed a window for diagnosis or something. Again, what was I thinking.
Oh yeah, and this year my vitaligo is now really noticeable all around my mouth. I have to be so careful in the sun. I don't want to look like a freak. People already stare when I wear a T-shirt and shorts wondering what the heck happened to my skin. Frustrating. It keeps getting worse and worse. I feel like I should just bleach my entire body like Michael Jackson did. *sigh* I don't want the stares.
