I have a new symptom that just started. I get mild prickling feeling and redness in the sun. even if I just get a little bit of sun.

Could this be a not -common Lyme symptom? Does anyone else have this?

I am praying I am not getting Lupus too with my high ANA

A lot of people with lyme or infections have positive ANAs. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s lupus. Is your dsDNA positive? Any other rheumatological markers positive? How about WBC and RBC, are they both normal?

Are you on doxycycline? If not, then my guess would be MCAS.

thank you for replies.

im not on doxy.

my dsDNA is negative thankfully. wbc and rbc negative. Avise is negative and thankful for that. but it is a low negative. -1.1. I wish I had a little more "room" there. My hep-2 ANA is positive at 1:80 homogeneous.

i guess ill just take one day at a time trusting God. and I'll look into MACS
