I apologize if this has been asked and answered before. I know that the Raynauld's is the cause of the grayish and/white coloring in my fingers and toes but at times, such as now, when I'm just sitting I can feel that some of my fingers and toes are "numb". This lupus world is new to me and I really am unsure what symptoms go with which diagnosis. Thank you and have a blessed evening.
Raynaurds said doc is more of a nuisance winter is bad for feet and hands hv a pain free nite ππ
My guess would be neuropathy
Jlemm:
So my first blood work was retested 4 or 6 mos after taking the Plaquenil and they started to drop
Yes!β¦ I don't know about you, but I can never seem to get into my rheumatologist when I'm having a flare it's only when I'm feeling good that she has time for me and she runs my blood and everything comes back normal.. My ANA has always been positive, my double-stranded DNA, my single-stranded DNA, my RNP factors were all positive, my C3 and C4 stay low... but now that I'm on Plaquenil everything is normal besides my ANA.., cell question I often wonder is, why am I still symptomatic?
Jammie- how long did it take for your levels to go back to normal after being on plaquenil? I also have a high positive ANA, RNP antibodies and SM Antibodies.
