I have good news and bad news!

Original post by HelenZ

Hey ladies!!

ok BAD NEWS first: I have a nasty poison ivy infection on both of my forearms (from gardening in my lovely backyard)......I already had it when I went to the rheumatologist on Thursday (didn't know yet until I went to my regular doctor on Sunday), so I only thought of calling him today to let him know (in case he showed any signs of it himself)......I left a message w/ his receptionist and she said he'd call me back later.

GOOD NEWS: fast forward to 3:30ish when I was in a meeting- Dr. Porges left me a voicemail saying he doesn't have poison ivy- ANDDDDDDDDD my test results for lupus were already back!! (he told me I'd find out next week!!)

and the results are.................................































THE TEST WAS NEGATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I called him back when I got out of the meeting, but the office was already closed, so I'll try back manana, I just want to ask him if he's going to test me for anything else, or if his conclusion is that I have Raynaud's syndrome and nothing else. I'm so relieved!!!!!!! THANK YOU for your prayers last week!!
