Показать описание
The Lupus Foundation of America supports research that can have the greatest impact on the lives of people with lupus within the shortest time possible. The Foundation supported Dr. Joseph Ahearn of the Allegheny Health Network's Autoimmunity Institute to identify biomarkers that are now part of the ADVISE(R) test helping to improve early diagnosis of lupus.

It's nice to hear that after all these years, there may be something positive on the horizon for diagnosing us. I went through torture trying to get a diagnosis. Sadly, I asked a doctor to test me for it and he told me outright that I didn't have it, no bloodwork or anything. I was so new to my symptoms that I took his word for it. I think there needs to be training of the doctors to also realize that while we don't have medical degrees, we are pretty informed on when our bodies are not functioning properly.

Can someone tell me what kind of test I should ask my doctor to order for this? I wish this was more specific. I have failed so many arthritis treatments and have always wondered if I have lupus and not autoimmune arthritis.

Is this the Ana test? I was under the impression it is NOT accurate (told to me by physicians)
