Thank you! I have been passing tons of these every day for the past few months at least. I tested positive ANA in October and have been having horrendous symptoms over the past year which continue to get worse. Livedo reticularis in my legs, along with tingling, numbness, burning and inflammation. Freezing & numb extremities. Tons of bruising everywhere. Pain all over, I am unable to walk some days. Indigestion and gas like crazy, which has subsided since I stopped eating gluten 2 months ago. Do flukes cause autoimmune disease? I have read they do, however my immune system being shot has probably made it easy for them to multiply.
