I need answers Can someone help me

[invisiable1985]

Last year when I was pregnant with my son I was really sick. They did all sort of tests. They told me I have an antinuclear cell. They told me that was a sign of lupus. I have had all kinds of tests done sense then and they have came up good except for that thing. I;m not being treated for lupus, because they say I haven't had an outbreak. What is that suppose to mean? I'm so freaken confused about the whole thing. I'm constantly tired, and in pain half of the time. But they say I'm fine that I don't need to be medication. So does anyone else know what this antinuclear cell is. Could it be something else? I would really like your opions on this... It would help an awful lot.

I am at the same place you are and really wish I could offer more than a supportive ear. I do know there are many possible health causes for ur tired and pain. I was told hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, weight issues, and hepatitis can all cause similiar symptoms that make it hard for the drs. to diagnose. But since you have been positive for that cell I am shocked they are not working to figure out what is wrong b/c I thought that meant you could have lupus. I will let one of the other much more experienced ladies answer your questions about this b/c I am still learning and still not being treated only given more possible issues too. I do wish you much luck and the bes tand if you need a friend to vent or talk to, I am here for you.

Thanks,
