Anti-nuclear antibodies

Mia has been suffering from some very noticable hair loss over the last 3 weeks.

Our GP and Dermatologist ordered blood tests after nothing obvious was noted to be causing her hair loss, infection, tinea and alopecia were all ruled out.

She returned a positive on her Anti-nuclear antibodies and a positive for Lupus.

We are facing a barrage of tests in the coming weeks as she also has protein present in her urine.

I have had a week to digest this information, but still feel a little overwhelmed as I have more questions than can be given answers.

There is so much we don't know.
