Giant mystery
Posted , 7 users are following.
My doctors know I am sick, and they are treating me symptomatically.
However, not one can figure out why I am sick. I have been clinically diagnosed with
Self fusing vertebras at three levels of my lumbar spine
Restrictive lung disease
Excessive lumbar hyperlordosis
Obstructive sleep apnea
Muscle weakness and neuropathy.
I have lost all reflexes in my heel as well as sensation
In the same foot.
Inflammatory gastritis
And Gerds.
Chronic dry eye/uveitis
Am I wrong for seeing this as my body is fighting
Against itself? I have been tested three times for
Ankylosing Spondylitis, tested negative all times
And I have no other Rheumatoligical markers.
Someone help me understand what's going on with my body?
I'm 34, and a mother of 3.

Hi Tara,
I'm sorry to read your very long list of problems, no wonder you are feeling so ill.
I'm wondering if you have been seen by a Rheumatologist, if not it might be beneficial to ask your GP to refer you on.

Findout if you have had an ANA test (Anti nuclear antibody test) this is the test that will tell you if your condition is auto immune. This test was the breakthrough for me, before, I was treated symptomatically just like you.You can read about the test online. Also, read about the Symptoms of Lupus and Sjogrens Syndrome, the dry eye, GERD,
Apnea, could be related to a form of Lupus. The average time it takes to get diagnosed with Lupus is 7 years, because of all the different symptoms. You may be mild or severe but the disease is progressive so you must pursue a diagnosis to your issues and not give up. I hope this helps, good luck,
Sally
