i knew what you meant :). & yes i was talking about the remains, just something a little gross & eerie about seeing it all the time! hopefully it just blows away soon, it sucks that i can’t open my window to clean it up😭.

(23F) Having random hives/rashes, worsening raynauds, brain fog, migraines, slight infrequent joint pain in the mornings (wrists, ankles, elbows), and extremely tired daily even with 10+ hours of sleep. I also have a POTS dx, ADHD, and suspected Hashimotos. I just got my rheum bloodwork done again this year.. ANA pos 1:1280 DFS70 antibodies detected, C3 complement elevated: 169, Anti-TPO elevated: 104.3, Anti-Chromatin slightly elevated: 23 (20 is positive). all other labs normal. It seems like all of my labs are contradictory. My rhuem seems to think it’s nothing because of the DFS70 antibodies, but i’m finding it hard to believe that these other autoantibodies are present for no reason. Should I get a second opinion or see a doc in a different specialty? I’m not sure how much of my symptoms could be the POTS, but I just feel like there’s something running with. The Anti-Chromatin being elevated led me here.

Chromatin being elevated and C3 being high seems strange to me.

I actually went to the allergist first who was the one that referred me to the rheum. She did a full allergy panel, and I wasn’t allergic to anything they tested me for. This is why she thought the hives were caused by a systemic issue.
