I was reading this article on the internet that said that it is very common for men with Sjogrens to have sero-negative blood work. As I'm sero-negative and confirmed only via lip biopsy I just wonder if other men could ring in and tell me if they are sero-negative or if they have had positive blood work.
Positive, for me Billydude.
Sero- Negative for me
Steve
Can you post a link to that article ?
Cheers
Gents,
I'm curious, what blood types are you? Could it be that certain types/sub groups might be less likely to show autoimmune markers.
Patze
I don't even know my blood type Patze. No one as ever told me.
Here it is KindandCaring... Scroll down to "Diagnostic Criteria"

Thanks Steve
First Ive heard of men not showing markers..however as Epson has them..its not a glove fits all thing..as per usual.
I neither have elevated ESR, nor CRP, nor any SSA, SSB markers...yet at the same time I have several Autoimmune Diseases
sereo negative,, at least for now
Sero-negative
O positive
sero negative, but high ANA
Positive for myself. I am A positive.
positive for both sjogren;s antibodies : ro and la
positive for the A antibody and neg for the B
I guess that throws off that theroy.
