hutchies Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 She finally got into the internal specialist and he said he was 99% sure it was Lupus. He did some tests yesterday and confirmed that it is. She started on some different medications and is feeling better today. I'm happy that we actually know what she is battling now. Thanks all for the prayers. It's been a trying time and I'm sure there will be more to come but for now we've won a battle but the war isn't over.

MCH Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Good luck, Hutch. From experience, Lupus is very commonly misdiagnosed. A teller here at the bank had Lupus for several years only to find out that she didn't. I'll visit with her and find out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sounds good bud. She had been tested once for lupus already and it came back negative which the internal guy said is very common. Either way she is doing much better. This is her first full day back to work in months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Glad to hear she's doing a little better. I know of 3 ladies personally with lupus. The treatment and experience of each varied widely. Hard disease to diagnose for sure. A lady from church is doing great now and seems to be in a state of remission for several years now.

Turkeygirl Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Glad to hear the news of the diagnosis. As far as I know, treatment out there for it and what not...just has to take care of herself and avoid exacerbations of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
