Title: Flares and Labs???
Post by: gurs on August 20, 2011, 02:33:39 PM
Im feeling sicker than ever....doc ordered some labs for me, and to my surprise, they dont seem to correlate with the way Im feeling.
My ANA is the lowest its ever been at 1:160. Its always normally around 1:640 or 1:1280? amazes me. Everything is else is the same for me pretty much, except I had her test my ACTH hormone, and that came back a bit low? Wondering if I have a pituitary issue, but I guess I can address this with my new endocronologist next month. I had an MRI of the brain last year, wouldnt that show something? My cortisol is high from the steriods. Something is just off though.

My complement is always a tad bit high...

I just keep taking more medrol hoping I get some relief. 

Anyone else noticed this? I know the levels can change alot?
