I'm on 10 MG prednisone and 1500 cellcept and have been experiencing minor crusting and moderate to severe eye/sinus/facial/joint/head pain lately so I thought I might be having my first flare since Rituxan treatment in February.
Tests results show Sed rate elevated, PR3 elevated but ANCA is negative.
From what I have learned from reading posts, negative ANCA doesn't necessarily mean it's not a flare.
Being relatively new to all this, I'm curious to hear what the Dr has to say about the results. I'm guessing he's going to tell me to stay the course, which should be alright as long as motrin continues to knock down the pain to manageable, right?
Also hoping he gives me iron infusion. Hemoglobin is down to 8, again, and I feel that is contributing to my feeling so rotten.
Feeling miserable and frustrated and just needed to vent. I'm still upright and kicking and making the most of each day!
Thank you!
