Interesting! I've had migraine auras for ages at first I thought it was a stroke as I can't see when they occur...
Hi there-yes I was positive for one of the markers-but in reading more and speaking with many drs I've learned many of these Lyme drs are "quacks". I was put on a ton of meds and frankly could be my...

Hi guys, its been awhile since I have posted. Got a somewhat dx of crest (mild sclerederma) but this was not based off labs but more my skin so I am skeptical. I still have pancreati*** flares, still...
Splinter hemmoraghes look like little blood splinters under your nails. I looked it up and its widely associtaed with heart disease or lupus (vasculitis). The "majority" of my symptoms started 2 yrs...
Do you get these? I noticed 2 yrs ago when my symptoms started I had one under my nail and it went away. For the past month or so I have noticed two on my toenails, and one now on my pinky nail. I...
Thank you all for youre responses. I have not been dxd, but I dont think the muscle twitching, nerve pains, nueropathy, ridges in all nails etc.. are caused by my pancreas-I think SOMETHING is...
Oh my gosh, I have been going through the SAME thing with my pancreas and I suspect lupus. Have you found anything out at this point? Here is my brief story 2 yrs ago started to get stabbing/burning...
Have any of you had pancreas inflammation with lupus? I am not diagnosed, but for 2 yrs have been suffering from neuropathy (muscle twitching all over my body, stabbing/zinging/burning pains that...
Thank you both, and I appreciate the explanation on when neuropathy usually starts with this. Does that mean since it is the nerve being killed it would typically show on an EMG? I know I should not...
Hi all, for over a yr I have had burning/stinging "zingers" that jump around from random parts of my foot/hand..sometimes for a second other times hrs. Also at the same time started having random...
I have no clue. I have had odd stuff go on for a couple yrs--in 07 it started with gerd that would not go away. In May I did get these little red bumps on my thighs-4 of them, looked like flea bites....
I did go to an LLMD and she suspected lyme due to labs and symptoms--however I was only pos on a couple (thinik 32 and 34 if I remember properly), so I wasnt convinced I had it. I never got a rash...
Ahh thanks. I had a scope (both) over the past 2 yrs-fine. I have had constant inflammation of my pancreas yet scans have been fine. Hoping to find a reason for it outside of something horrible like...
How is this typically tested?...
Does anyone here have problems with their pancreas being inflammed often?...
Hi all-wondering if anyone here has had issues with constant inflammation of the pancreas. I have had it since Feb. My dad died of Pancancer a yr ago--thankfully my scans have been clear. I cant help...
Sorry you too are going through this odd thing. Mine is definitely my pancreas as my lipase etc is elevated. I get my mrcp on Thurs and am TERRIFIED they will find cancer since my dad died of pancan....
Hi all, so this rash came back a couple more times.....however, the labs for lupus were clear again. Not sure what the heck could be causing all of this. Also, my pancreas pains are back so I suspect...

Does anyone here have EXTREME joint cracking (sometimes grinding) with their lupus?...
Okay, so went to my rheum today and said (without me even saying a word) the rash I showed her looked just live livedo. She said I either have a stand alone clotting issue, or its associated with...
Yes, mine looked like this but much brighter. I sent a pic to my dr, he said it looks like livedo as well and said he suspects lupus. Though I do not want lupus, I would be happy to have a name to...
I am going to see my rheum tomorrow. I cannot help but think all of my undx symptoms, along w my pancreas inflammation are all connected....
Yes, mine went away. However, was in the sun today and it came again but on my left thigh. The rash is bright red and looks like a big net cast on my thigh. I had clotting tests before a procedure...
Thanks for your response. I have not been diagnosed but think lupus could be possible do to all my unexplained sx and now unexplained pancreas inflammation. Wish we could post pics here so I could...

Hi B, it is uncomfortable but could be more painful--light stabbing pains on and off in my upper ab (1 inch below breast) and some burning in center. I am hoping its just pancreatitis and not...
Marthas V--how long were you on doxy for? I am wondering if this has caused my pancreas to inflame...

Has anyone been on meds for acid reflux/gerd where it has simply just stopped working?...

Would chronic pancreatitis cause daily pain for over a month w/out nasua? My pains are also upper left and they come and go throughout the day, like light stabs also some upper centered burning....
CBC has been fine......
Thanks for your response, how long did the pancrestitis last for? Mine has been over a month and has been "mild"...
Wow you have been through alot. The dr did not tell me about low protein, good to know seeing as I eat turkey daily. My pain is thankfully not severe, but it is there on and off throughout the day....
Some of you may remember me from months ago, along w my symptoms. I went on doxy for @ 6 wks ,when I went off the sx reduced a ton. Never had labs pointing to lyme but was given a clinical possible...
