Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hi all! How often do you get your blood work done? I am still new to all of this and my Rheumy isn't checking my blood work for another 4 months. I have been asymptomatic (for the most part) but my blood work now indicates the lupus is active. We have figured out that I have had a couple of flares but didn't realize it at the time because they were both different than I expected. I don't want to come off as paranoid but I don't want to miss something my body is trying to tell me. For instance, I have had pain in my lower left abdonimal area (tender to the touch even) for about three days. I feel constipated but am definitely NOT! I am bloated though. I haven't called the Dr because I don't want to bug my Rheumy in case it isn't anything lupus related and I am between family Dr's for now. So, do I just wait and see what happens? I would know if there was something bad going on wouldn't I? Am I being silly? I just don't know what to expect yet with all of this and want to do everything I can to help myself out! Thanks for listening! Nikki __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
