Does anyone here suffer with vascular issues?

Thanks Quincy for being reassuring 🙈😂 I’m know I’m clutching at straws here. But I’m going to hold on to those for as long as possible 😂😂 x

I’ve had a trillion blood tests this week 😂😱
All is normal. They’ve checked everything from full count to crp and esr, cholesterol, still waiting in blood sugars. Bone health. Calcium sodium etc etc.. kidney and liver function.
They did specialised ANCA test which appears in some cases of vasculitis. And they were negative.
Am being checked for vitamin deficiencies on Friday.

But so far everything checks out.

I’ve had some dizzy spells and feeling weak so the doc has given me something for vertigo as she wonders whether I’ve had an inner ear problem.
Toe is still playing up sporadically.

So not much further with any news.

I have an appointment with the vascular surgery department on Tuesday so I’ll see what light that may bring 🙄

So I thought I’d update you a little. Although nothing very exciting to say. 😂

Had more blood tests (surprised I have any left at this rate)
All is fine, apart from my calcium is slightly low which they (GP) thinks could have contributed to my muscle aches.. so I am to take some calcium tabs for a month then re test.

Vascular department appointment was all good.
He said it would do no harm in seeing a rheumy for a second opinion on aches and pains.

Vertigo tabs appear to have stopped the dizziness pretty much so could have well been an ear problem.

Toe seems a little better. I’m thinking because the weather isn’t as cold so the Raynauds isn’t as crazy.

I’m feeling much better generally but pretty fatigued. Probably from all the worry I gave myself 🙈😂

So for now... we are sticking with just the one auto immune disease and I’m pretty glad to go back to worrying about my poop for a bit.

I hope your rough spell has fully subsided also @quincy

Pretty boring update so I apologise for hogging up the board on non UC matters. I just hate an unfinished story 🤓

Take care all 👍🏻
