Question I recently had a RF test of 191 and a positive ANA. I will see a rheumatologist, I know many diseases associated with this but I was wondering if one would stand out? Joint, muscle pain, major fatigue, hair loss, stiffness after sitting no matter what time of day, tingling in fingers, I have Reynauds, thyroid nodules with normal TSH. burning in joints or muscles, but great appetite, almost too hungry!
Answer Hi Lisa,
I need to know what ALL your blood results say, this will tell me what wasn't done as well. Also, I need onset history, imagining studies (if any), medications presently taking ( I feel you may be taking prednisone), and any other info you can give me. (age)(weight)(pertinent family history)
Thanks,
Dr. Timothy Durnin
