Brief Answer:
Looks like infalammatory sequence.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back,

It's good to know that your blood works were good,

well as far as mono results were concerned they don't look significant.


As your blood works and liver works are ok it looks like you are having inflammation inside body, that might be due to your arthritis , as you get your blood works back and start on meds things are expected to get better.

98.6 is not fever its normal temp if your still feel fevrish this is called lethargy and general malaise in medical terms.

This occurs in settings of inflammations and autoimmune.

Plz follow your labs and consult doctor with the lab results when meds get started you will feel fine..

Till then you can use over the counter meds like Tylenol 500 mg this will relieve your symptoms by controlling inflammatory mediators in body.

Hope things wil get back in some time, don't panic your issues are very treatable just be patient.


Stay blessed.

Brief Answer:
Don't panic and recheck in a month.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Having a negative test is always a good news but having a positive test then a negative is strange,

In a few conditions there are false positive test and false negative as well ...

For this we ask the patient to take anti inflammatories like Acetamenophen 500 mg to reduce symptoms and we recheck antibody essay after a month..


so i will ask you not to panic and not to get disturbed , hope for the best,

Meanwhile get a psychiatric evaluation as well to rule our psychiatric influences in your symptoms..

Things will get better with time but you have to get causes ruled out ...get an autoimmune check-up again in a month if that's again negative then we can consider other options ..

Don't let it get on to your nerves, your symptoms also arent really typical of autoimmune may be its sub-clinical or may be it was just one attack,


I hope re checking again comes out negative.

Till the get a psychiatric evaluation .

Stay blessed.

Brief Answer:
Yes Hormones can be a culprit too.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back,

Hormonal imbalance is definitely a possible cause worth ruling out. That's why in my response i asked you if your hormones like Thyroid and cortisol are ok?

Yes getting off birth control can also cause this symptoms specially if your own hormones are being produced in lower quantity by the body.

Getting off birth control doesn't effect many because body starts producing its own hormones but if this doesn't happen and hormone level stays low this can cause disturbance in functionality of the body.

You indeed need to get an endo chek-up if hormones are low then he might want to run some tests to didn't out why they are low and then treatment can be started... i believe if this is because of hormone it is really treatable plus it will also relieve your lethargy and stress...

Just stay calm and get your hormones checked up and see what endocrinologist suggests. Hopefully there wont be a major issue... Here we also have to find out if only estrogen progesterone are effected or others too then we can find the cause and treat it,,, it will take time and patience but hormonal issues are usually reversible and treatable mostly.. so don't worry and set-up an appointment with endo as soon as possible.

Do get your fasting blood sugars and HBA1C done as well.

If you have more queries i am happy to answer.

Brief Answer:
You need gynae and endocrinologist consult.

Detailed Answer:
H,
Thanks for writing back,

HbA1 C tells you last 3 months of sugar control... Fasting sugars mean sugar before breakfast... in hormonal issues sugars can get disturbed ..

If your periods are disturbed then wait for some days and then again consult gynae ... periods are disturbed most probably because of hormonal imbalance, This should be addressed indeed.

So strategy here is to first do something about your hormones ... with endocrinologist and gynae consult.. then you can go for rheumatology checkup in a couple of months... most of your symptoms are expected to get better as hormones get better,

But re re evaluation of antibodies issue is necessary to make sure you don't have autoimmune.

Deal with things calm without losing patience, things will get better with time.

Brief Answer:
Did they tell you type of antibody?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

thanks for writing back,

Did you get the tests from different labs?.because your tests really show a strange behavior once your AnA comes positive then it gets negative then your mono comes negative and suddenly becomes positive it can also be lab error.

By 13 you mean 1:13? can you attach the report?

Did they tell you type of antibody found? is it IgM or IgG?
