Information On Amyloidosis...

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I am going to be tested for Amyloidosis. Honestly I had never heard of this

condition before. My Doc. said it is common with Systemic JRA. I am not

going to get to alarmed about this. After all I probably don't have this

condition. I am going to have a test on Monday. Then I will also see a

Specialist.

My symptoms at this time is on and off protein in my urine. I have had this

problem since the onset of my disease in 1979.

The one thing that worries me is that my Rheum. Doc said there is no

treatment for this. However I have found a few sites on the internet of

people that have recovered from this.

Anyway I am looking for info on this. Right now I don't believe I have this

but we will see. I have been tested for a lot of things and I tested

negative for a lot of things.

Is this a common occurrence with my disease? Could there be another

explanation for the protein?

Like I said for now I am trying not to worry about this however any info

would be much appreciated. Monday I will probably be told I don't have this

condition. I will let you know.

Thanks,

Love,
