Positive

SLCH called today. Marcus's MRI was normal and so are all the blood tests so far except his ANA

Being ANA positive could be a huge sign of Lupus or it may mean nothing. We are still waiting on other bloodwork and go back on October 1st.

TRAVS SISTER TEAL HAS A POSITIVE ANA,HOMOGENOUS I THINK. IT WAS FOUND YEARS AGO. SHE WAS DIAGNOSED IN DEC 07 WITH A PITUITARTY ADENOMA AND HAS HAD TONS OF TESTS SINCE THAT TIME. NOTHING SIGNIFICANT HAS BEEN FOUND SINCE THEN BUT SHE HAS STRANGE BOUTS OF ABDOMINAL PAIN THAT SOMETIMES RADIATES TO HER BACK. BAD HEADACHES ALSO. WE HAVE A PATIENT WITH SJOGRENS AND SHE HAS MOUTH SORES AND BACK PAIN. AS LONG AS SHE GETS HER B12 SHOT EVERY MONTH HER MOUTH IS FINE. WEIRD
