Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 My doctors have me so confused its not funny! I was diagnosed with Stills disease IN January 08 then they changed it to Lupus In June then Lupus with overlapping Fibro and now this month they call and say maybe Lupus with over lapping AS Ankylosing Spondylitis as well because they see my back fussing and also my hips that is rare in Lupus. Im thinking I dont have Lupus but Stills disease I have the salmon colored rash on my chest, worse after a shower... my back is fussing together cant it be caused from Stills? They said that is why they think I have AS stiff neck. I had the fevers daily but better on Plaquenil. My primary Doc says we will never know I had very high ferreting levels this past testing they Finley ran that test it was high! That says stills disease right? but the ANA showed positive 2 months ago and one other time and the anti ANA positive and 91 then as well. It came back negative this last time. 2 times back positive ANA blood test the other 6 negative. I have had sores in my mouth a few times so confused so are doctors they are just saying we are treating it like a connective tissue disease we may never know which one I have? Ugh my hands are getting wore they are starting to curl in and my legs hurt so bad at night its not funny. They took me off cellcept it was making me go deaf and terrible ear pain. It too had side effects of lymphoma cancer so glad to be off it. Percocet and advil are my best friends in the bad pain. Im going to start posting here again been away a long time tried to be in the Lupus support but never felt at home there. I still feel its Stills and I had Lupus like problems after Enbrel but I seem to never have the butterfly rash and just the salmon colored rash on chest and upper arms. Love you all and miss you hope all is well and you all have a good holiday vacation. Im back for good here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
