What?! This guy's a doctor?! I wouldn't trust him to go over the bloodwork accurately! I suggest getting a second opinion, anyway, and taking your test results with you. Ugh! I'm so disgusted with how this rheumy treated you, Jen. And I'm also totally creeped out by your description of the fibro video. Ewwww!
Quote: My favorite was when they mentioned "tri-cyclic agents" and showed a drawing of this guy in a trench coat on a tricycle.
Lol! Ugh.
You're right - you can have lupus without those three symptoms. There's actually a list of eleven criteria that a rheumy will use to diagnose lupus; in addition to your medical history and bloodwork, a patient must have at least four of the 11.
