- Protein S, C, antithrombin III

[Guest guest]

I can see where he's going with that - clotting abnormalities. Maybe

someone has already run those tests for you (and the lupus anticoagulant

and/or antiphospholipid antibodies, too), since at least one of your

doctors has given you a lupus diagnosis at some time in your past. Maybe

they can check your chart and see if any of those results were ever

abnormal before.

If your current physicians also believe you have lupus, I would ask them

if it is wise that you are on Enbrel. Enbrel is a controversial

treatment for those with SLE.

Maybe the surgeon should do a biopsy first?

Mondor's didnt show up which i find strange. I found a doctor on the

internet from a university and he told me to ask the doctors to run

protein c deficiency, protein s deficiency, and antithrombin iii. Im

gonna ask the rheumatologist on New years eve. I have to go back to the

hospital to check my liver and kidney functions. Thanks.
