So far I have been diagnosed with Disc degenerative disease, Morphea, poly neuropathy, Hashimotos, Barrett's, Raynaud's, Interstitial cystitis, MCTD, lymphedema, osteoarthritis. Recent lab came back also have low platelets, enlarged spleen. I hate going to Dr cause I seem to get diagnosed with new disease everytime I go. Also the following were high LD, CK(MB), AST, CRP, ESR...oh and positive IgG Band 58 and IgM Band 23
I see my Rheumatologist next week and will try to look all these up… read more
All I remember is that when I was really sick and had my first full panel blood draw, I was tested for Lyme's first, then RA, Leukemia, then Lupus. It was a process of elimination between my GP and hematologist.
So sorry to hear that you are going through all that. It's probably all lupus related or medication related. I got neutropenic ( low white blood cells and clotting factors for awhile)- it was related to the methotrexate I was on. I had to wait a few weeks before restarting it. I get labs every month now instead of every 3 months.
Good morning, I hope you have a blessed day. You are in my prayers.

Wow! Thank you for sharing this information. I just think it’s odd how fuzzy diagnosing Lyme disease is. I might ask my primary doctor about these tests. I will also check out the links you sent. Thanks again!
