Gaga and the Wolf?!

No this is not a new version of Peter and the Wolf performed by Lady Gaga --- but that could be fun too. 

Her newest RollingStone Interview created the same controversy as her recent appearance on Larry King. On Kings show she said that she was tested borderline positive for Lupus disease. Well borderline what is that supossed to mean? There are different ideas out. One being that she tested for ANA's (Antibodies against cell material) and that the titer (the ratio of antibodies in the blood) was on the border between negative and positive. But only a positive ANA test wouldn't lead to a diagnosis as harsh as Lupus.

A second possibility in my eyes to be  borderline positive is that she has some of the ARA (American Rheumatology Association) criteria to diagnose Lupus. There are 11 criteria but to diagnose Lupus you only need 4 established. So I am guessing she could also have 3 and so she nearly has it.... 

One  of the more important things to know is that Lupus isn't given to you by your parents although it seems to be a gentic problem. 

These are just  my two cents on the subject before the summer now fully has my attention. Tourists beware ...
Well this weekend i am going to play mini golf with kids so that is going to make for fun moments and on top there is still the world cup and there is a live screening of every game near the beach.

On that subject Vuvuzelas... don't you love hate these stupid things? Even youtube now has a soundfilter for that frequence!
