In response to:

I was 24 when I was first diagnoised with SLE (Lupus). My ANA was positive as well as my RA. Within the past 6 months, I change Primary Care doctor's and he did a full work up of blood tests. I have been suffering with a severely low platelet count. When I returned for a follow up visit, he explained to me that my RA factor was 320 and 20 was normal. My joints constantly ache. It's to the point now that I don't think that I will be able to work. I think it will be a tremendous hassle to try and get disability. Please let us know what your doctor said.
