Lab Rat Named Samantha

Well its not quite that bad, yet. Still running tests on whats going on. The rheumatologist sent blood to UCLA to have them run all sorts of tests to see if they can figure it out. Apparently the hospital lab found some antibodies that the private lab didn't.

He's still sure that its lupus. He started me on Plaquenil to help with the pain and the exhaustion. If I don't see a change when I see him again in a month then we will try a different med.

I understand they are being thorough and I'm happy about that, but I just wish we'd figure it out already so I can stop being a pin cushion.
