For past 2 years from Oct-April i will have inflammation in my chest, leg pain, knee pain and back pain and swelling. My Dr had me do blood and it came back 1:180 and 1:80 homogenous the first and second time she tested it (a year in between) she sent me to a rheumatologist who has ran every single blood test under the sun and he said i have nothing that he sees and told me to wean off the prednisone that i had been prescribed. The thing is its warmer now and i am off the meds and feel good no pain at all. I have heard from numerous people to be diagnosed with lupus you cannot base it off blood work but he the rheumy said if blood work is normal i do not have it. Im just a person who will go through life with a positive ANA. I am at a loss.
Does lupus come and go with weather changes? Also anyone who has been on prednisone how long has it taken you to lose the weight? Thanks!
