Hi i recently tested positive for ANA. I am scheduled to see a specialist in about 6 weeks. Has anyone gone to doctor after doctor for issues and just be brushed off. Following is what I have actually suffered from and sought treatment for these symptoms along with the positive ANA test have I have Lupus or connective tissue disorder:
1. Hypothyrodisim - take synthroid
2. Swollen glands
3. Sores on my mouth off and on but more on in the last year
4. Sores in my nose. Diagnosed with inflammation of the hair follicule
5. Terrible nose bleeds over the last three years clots coming out - diagnosis dry nose
6. Exhaustion - vitamin D prescription and B12 shots
7. Pains in chest - diagnosis stress
8. Seven years three different doctors allergist and dermatologist for face rash - diagnosis stress. Seems I always have a light pink rash over cheeks and nose - butterfly
9. Digestion issues - colitis
10. Adjustment disorder with anxiety (who wouldnt!) take effexor
11. nauseated - feeling fluish
12. Unable to stay awake at all - sleep study diagnosis idopathic hypersomina six months ago - take adderall twice a day
13. Brain fog
14. In last four years - calf tear, later meniscus tear, ruptured bicep, rotator cuff tear, glute strain
15. Terrible joint pain - weekly adjustments and massages
16. Hate hate hate the sunlight makes me feel sick.

Mornings are hell - I think I cant live like this - I hurt everywhere then by mid afternoon I feel better. Not great but better. I kept my pace in life until the unbearable exhaustion took hold of me now I work part time (was terminated in January for not being focused after telling my employer I was seeking testing for whatever the hell was wrong with me) I was there 14 years. so I work part time and just recently gave up going to the gym the place I was at five days a week for most of my life. I too tired feel sick and weak. I kept asking my doctors this has to all be connected but no one felt it was!
Hopefully I will get the right diagnosis come July 5th!
