Got a letter from the doctor today asking me to call. It turns out that some more blood results have come back, I though I had them all. My ANA and ESR are showing mild positive not really sure what this means apart from imflamation?

My GP is good and I want to see him rather than one of the others in the practice but he is on holiday this week and no appointments next week. Although I might get one of his emergencies if I phone on Wednesday the other problem is they have to be tailored around work now.

Would like to know what is going on with my body. I know there is no magic pill but it would be nice to get a positive diagnosis and mayse start some form of treatment.

    Hi Anne,

    how frustrating for you!
    did the letter from the doc give you any further info about the blood results? seems unfair to leave you in limbo for weeks!

    I do hope you can get to see someone with knowledge and experience who can explain exactly what the tests are showing. meanwhile keep your chin up!...Iris x

    Hi Anne,
    Yes, as Iris says, this is so frustrating for you.
    Hope you get the advice you need, whatever you decide to do.

    Sorry I think I misled you all. The practice nurse explained some things are reckons with my clinical history the doc s looking at RA or imflammatory arthritis.

    It's a bit more tricky to get appointments as i am back at work full time.

    I will keep you all posted.
