Search for ANA blood tests. It measures inflammation and dna. It almost measures the possibility of autoimmune disease. And you do need a rheumatologist

I understand but not lupus. Seems there are a lot of autoimmune diseases. Just wish I could talk to the rheumatologist.

@Pam- why does your doc say you don’t need a rheumatologist?

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, he believes with my back problems, and I have spondylitis,
I believe more blood testing needs to be done. See him today.
Thank you @A MySpondylitisTeam Member, for the explanation of ANA, I will google it.
Thank you for the hugs right back to you.
God bless both of you, 🕯️

I have a positive ANA also but not sure how high. My doc said it is positive when people have Lupus and other autoimmune diseases but also positive in normal people.
Thankfully she doesn’t think I have Lupus.

Not sure if this helped but that is what happened to me.
