Hi Listmates.

I still owe you all a summary on my disability question and do plan  
on putting it together- my apologies for the length of time it is  
taking.  I have a lot going on and there were a LOT of responses.

Forging on to another question.  I went to a Rheumatologist last week  
because I am fairly certain I have Sjogren's despite a previous  
negative blood test (from 2 years ago).   I have family history and  
all of the symptoms.  The Rheumy ordered blood tests- I asked that a  
copy be sent to my home.  I tried calling him and my PCP today - but  
both offices were closed.

My Antinuclear Antibodies - under result it shows:
1:80  Homogeneous Pattern

below that it explains Homogeneous as :
Antigen Detected:  DNA (ds,ss,), Histone
& Suggested Disease Association:
High titers- SLE
[I looked up SLE, this is Lupus]

below that on the lab test I show an abnormal for WBC- LOW

then in the Urine portion:
Occult Blood- Abnormal
Eptihelial Cells (non renal)  Abnormal

and finally Vit D, 25 Hydroxy was Abnormal- LOW

If I understand this correctly, this lab test says I have Lupus.  Can  
anyone help me out with this?

Thanks,
Yvonne
