Hi there,
I'm new here and have been enjoying reading the wonderful advice and help that's been given out. What a super group of people.
I have some very similar symptoms and blood works results as some of the current members and am hoping to get a clear view of what's happening with me.
After 2 discetomies in Oct. 2001 and again in Jan 2002 I began to get more and symptomatic above and beyond the fixes that had been done. I began to lose feeling in my right foot, developed chronic pain that encompassed my entire body,weakness in hands, my right leg gives out and right hand resting tremors. All of these symptoms gradually appeared and it's over 6 years of docs, Lahey Clinic in Mass and so on. Also a brain lesion that is monitored yearly.There is a history of MS on the maternal side. I've had 2 positive ANAs which I assume can change is not a firm Lupus diagnosis?
I have recently changed PC's and was sent to a Pain Management Doc. She's fabulous. I've been on Neurontron, Vicodin for 5 yrs or so and a few other pain med I can't recall at this time with no real results. I am currently on 1 mg of Dilaudid 3 X a day. I was getting 1 mg per MRA/MRI yearly in order to remain still long enough for the scans and it seemed to be the only med. that helped relieve some pain without interfering with my thought process. I was put on Lyrica two years ago and am being slowly weeded off of that per my PC's suggestion. That's where my meds are at this time.
This new Pain Management doc sent to a rheumatologist that she felt thought out of the box, was good and could help figure out what was going on. He has begun but, he's takes on a good deal of patients and my question time is a little more limited than I wish it was.
We had 21 vials of blood drawn and he 23 tests. We have multiple positive antiphospholipids.. He mentions APL/APS a good deal but seems to be saying that he's not conclusive until it's reached a symptom point even though he believes the lesion may have been a prior stroke. That was first for me to hear in 5 plus years it's been showing on the MRI. I have my blood results and I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what they mean in layman's terms. He wants me to begin Plaquenil which I am batting around in my head. It appears from my visit yesterday and my daughter in laws interpretation that he wants me to go on Plaquenil to try to reduce the effects the antiphospholipds can have. So here goes:

Phosthatidylser 1gm Avg: 16 Mine: 34
Anticardiolipin(Cardiolipin) 1 gg -23 25
1gm -11 23
Beta2 Glycoprotein (B2gpI) 1gm -20 57
Glucose Sugar -100 108
Lupus Drvtt 0-31 33 HR
ANA positive

Thank you in advance! I look forward to be part of this great group.
