I had a dr appt this morning and I didnt get good news.
My Gp told me to kinda prepare myself. That I do have lesions on my brain and a postive lumbar puncture. The vasculitis in my brain and that point to what we were hoping not. Multiple sclerosis. The other thing it could be is Lupus nephritis vasculitis which means the lupus has moved to my brain. So. I have an appt, on April 9th that I will get more confirmation and treatment options. I have a new rheumatologist since this one was a nightmare that I will be seeing errrr. first week in May. (its in the kitchen and IM exhausted) Regardless... He told me to prepare myself and whatever questions and alternatives for treatment we can choose. I am not sure what we can do on second opinions (I REALLY DONT WANT TO DO ANOTHER SPINAL TAP) But I did have positive Ana and really high sed rates. I dont know all the counts I didnt write them down I was kinda in a stuper because so many times before they tested me for that and it was always negative. So anyway. that is where we stand right now. I really do appreciate your prayers and thank you so much. I ask right now for you to pray for John and Bella and my family. I think this is alot harder on them than it is on me.
My main concern right now is how this is all gonna effect them.

Oh Nancy, I am so sorry you didn't get better news. I will continue to pray for you and your hubby and Bella. You are constantly in my thoughts and I wish and pray for some good news from this next appointment. Wish I lived closer to you so that I could give you hug in person. ((((HUGS))))
You are quite a strong person and you were dealing with these before the dx so I know you will be amazing following the dx. I know it is so hard for all of you. I will keep praying.
Praying for you Nancy. Keep positive.
My heart goes out to you. The lupus sure has its way of turning our lives upside down. I think we should be paid to have tests....
THe hell our loved ones go through is unreal... I wish it was easier on us all. Lupus is so much like a lion in hidding. I've been fight with D levels for over a yr and can't get them up... let alone the other nightmares of a poosoble biopsy in JUne
Nancy you are in my heart and my prayers. MS.....my sister was diagnosed a few years ago with it in her early 30's and I know what it means. With everything else you deal with I have no words to say but to let you know that I am thinking of you way over here in the land downunder and will be praying for you, John and Bella. Hugs to you and your family and know that we love you! xoxo
