Yes, finally finished up going to the doctor with my CAT scans and blood tests. And his diagnosis - finally - lupus. Which I was pretty already mostly 98% sure of anyways.

He has taken me off the Perfudal - blood vessal dialator that helps out with the Raynaud’s - for the rest of the summer. Plus I am now supposed to step down my corticoid steroid usage to half. We’ll see what happens…maybe I’ll turn into less of a freak?

Also, found out that birth control pills and lupus cause me to have major chest pains. So there is one less pill to take each month.

Grrr….anyways. Starting a new lupus friendly column to the nerdgirl site to help edumacate all you lupus unfriendly people out there to start being nice to us freakoids…

That is not cool…at least you have a diagnosis, though. Something to treat instead of a whole bunch of symptoms.

I feel your pain too, I was diagnosed on Oct. 14 1991, i found that herbal medicine works very well for me, but the flair ups do suck.
