I am 20 years old this year and i've recently been to the gp to get various blood tests done. I got my results back and was found positive for ana speckled pattern. Further tests were done but found negative. The reasons for this testing is because for almost a year now i have various hard bumps under my skin on my two hands. They are extremely painful at time. my joints are also painful.
I was sent to the rhemaotolgist but he was also clueless as to what it is.
I was given anti-imflammatories but they didn't not help me.
I have been sent to the plastic surgeon to get a biopsy done from cutting the biggest one cut out. I really want to know what is wrong with me and why I got these lumps. No one seems to know what they are or what is the cause.
The bumps seem to come and go, they decrease and increase in sizing but never disappear. The pain is beginning to become unbearable now. I am a very healthy person otherwise and have never encountered any serious problems with my health.
I find that for a few years now i am always extremely tired, my energy levels are extremely low at times making my body very weak. I get very dizzy often and sometimes black out for 10seconds. I get alot of painful headaches very regularly.
I thought it may have had something to do with my iron levels but i got tests done a year ago and nothing seemed to be wrong. I really want to find out what is going on! any help or advise would be muchly appreciated !!!!
