Diagnosis update

So.... I went back to the Dr. yesterday. He is now changing my diagnosis to... CTD (connective tissue disease) from Lupus. Way to make a blanket diagnosis. Lupus is a CTD... but I have had other symptoms lately that don't go with Lupus, so he is changing it to just CTD until we get blood work done and more observation. I am staying on the Plaquinil because it has made my ANA's go way down and stay pretty stable. So, the good news is I don't have Lupus. Bad news, he is still in the "Ummmm" diagnosis... AGAIN!! Keep praying. :) Many frusterations down this road, but it is one we have to travel. More when I know it.

sorry to hear about the ummmm diagnosis. Hope they're able to figure something out soon. I can't even imagine the frustration. But at least not lupus sounds kind of like a good thing...
