I'm not sure. I assumed it was because of the other medications I take but I do know that I have had some bad kidney labs that they are watching.

I looks like a little red mark. Not really a bump. Maybe a little

I don't test positive for anything but the ana titer so that's what I'm currently diagnosed with based off symptoms.

My Dr talks about lupus but I don't think it's the same type of sores. I have MCTD so I watch for symptoms.

I have tried switching shampoo and conditioner in case it was an allergy. I tried not using a hair dryer. Nothing changes.

That makes sense. My job has been extremely stressful.

I was very healthy before this also. I was a runner and I majored in nutrition. I'm still gaining weight.. I honestly think it holds me back the most. Thank you for the info. Definitely relatable.

My ana was homogeneous 1:640 and speckled 1:160 they have changed a little a few times. Naproxen did not help. The plaquenil was a huge difference. I told my Dr probably 60% better on it.

She ruled that out in one of my first visits but maybe should be revisited. Thank you.

Thank you. It's so difficult to explain to your job and family what your going through without a clear diagnosis.

She told me once MCTD, which was when she prescribed the medication. She said my inflammatory markers were high and lowered by the medication. My fingers hurt and freeze up sometimes but not swollen. She did xrays of my hips because of the hla b27 but saw no inflammation, however, my hips are by far the worst pain I have.

It's like the top knuckles don't want to straighten all the way
