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…

Horaayy..there are 3 comment(s) for me so far ;)
That is not cool…at least you have a diagnosis, though. Something to treat instead of a whole bunch of symptoms.
Lupus!!! oh my god..
That’s terrible news..
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.
