Periiodontal disease, lupus, b12 deficiency and platelet disorder?


Health and body?
I am b12 deficient have a platelet disorder and have a positive ANA for SLE (lupus)...but all other lupus tests come back negative - now am seeing a periodontist for surgery. Mom has lupus & had periodontal surgery 10 years ago. I also have joint aches and don't sleep well at all. I forgot, endometriosis too...does anyone know what any of this can be linked to? LUPUS? My platelet disorder is unknown - my blood won't clot but the bloodwork does not match any known diseases. It's very frustrating...I just wish I had some answers. I have seen specialist after specialist and shown all of them the bloodwork - it's very upsetting for my husband and myself. I would like to get pregnant later this year but know I shouldn't until I know more about what is wrong with me.
Does anybody have any diagnosis suggestions?

A positive ANA with a speckled pattern can mean something other than lupus. As far as getting pregnant maybe you should see an OB and tell him/her what's going on, they may have a different take on your symptoms or be able to refer you to someone you haven't seen. I know how frustrating it can be. It took me a year and a half to find out that I have lupus. Good luck to you.
