@artemis1886 i think that’s very bold to say. I have tested positive with an Ana test-speckled-have tongue ulcers, but everything else has been negative. I’ve been to Mayo and Cleveland Clinic and had every test done under the sun. It even says in my reports and blood work panels if huh have dense fine speckled pattern it is seen in normal individuals and is most often not related to lupus or RA. I know these things can happen down the road but be careful with what you say to individuals. I’ve been told my ulcers are from acid reflux-but still have a lot of issues going on. It can also happen in menopause-which is what I’m going through.

@melindanorman I have stomach ulcers and nodules for over-0 years. My blood work test positive for the Epstein Barr virus which is also the herpes virus and mono. Sojourns cause sores in your mouth. I tested negative but the othomolgist (eye doctor) tested my eyes I tested positive then a month later tested positive for Sojourns. A neurologist in Boston caught the Sojourns and told me to be tested by an eye doctor. It has taken over 30 years to me feeling miserable to test positive for lupus, sojourns, Hashimotos and connective tissue disease first the neurologist discovered I had neuropathy severe axonal sensorimotor peripheral poly neuropathy, then diagnosed with cardiac autonomic neuropathy
( blood pressure uncontrolled either high or low along with bradycardia/tachycardia) so he ran two small fiber neuropathy the second one worse. I was loosing bladder control They knew the neuropathy was autoimmune because my Ana and other inflammatory markers were elevated. I tested positive at age 62 but my symptoms started way before then. My face had the butterfly rash negative but had the symptom, I have a tumor several cyst on thyroid for years now positive for Hashimotos the kicker I tested positive for all four yet my speckled and was in 2009. It took that long to get a positive autoimmune disorder but my Ana has been elevated since 2002. It’s very frustrating. Then since I have the sensorimotor neuropathy I was diagnosed with CIDP. It has been a long frustrating road and it’s not the same for everyone. This month I learned from a neurosurgeon my lupus and sojourns related to the Mrs bacterial spinal meningitis. Everyone in my mom’s family has RA including juvenile RA. Lupus made no sense now I find out it was the staph portion of the bacterial spinal meningitis that gave me lupus and sojourns. It just took forever to test positive my son had me taking pictures of the butterfly rash showing it to the rheumatologist that has seen me since 2010. Here’s some labs I had done by the research neurologist.
