Well, the fact that they are so resistant to do these blood tests just kind of confirmed to me that a lot of them are working for insurance companies.
Agreed!Thank you so much for watching my channel!
The rheum. I saw for first time did the full panel. Not sure about billibg aspect, wasn't mentioned
It's that or they don't want it used as a reason to go on SSDI

Welcome
What about seronegative? Nobody jas diagnosed me in 3 years! I am so sick and i need a dr bad!
Is it important to bring past blood work when seeing a new rheumatologist? The past doctor said i had lupus and RA.
Yes!!!!!
Thanks. My Family Physician said only genetics described my allergies…. Two of Dermatologists said live with it…. So frustrating…. Until I went to Naturopath Doctor and told me that I have glutate psoriasis and told me all the foods to avoid and it helped me a lot….
Thanks for sharing!!
In my experience, a lot of doctors will want to push you towards whatever the most expensive treatment is so that insurance companies can be billed more for them. It's best to figure out for yourself what helps by doing your own research. My doctor wanted to put me on thyroid medication for life, and I figured out that I could treat it on my own just by not eating gluten and taking a few vitamins.
@@Hollyucinogen Awesome. You're doing the best for yourself - it took me years to suspect my diagnosis was wrong and also the awful treatment.
Although more than two doctors have said : "you're gonna get worse fast or not so fast" and by following their instructions every thing was really getting worse, I wasn't happy neither dead yet.
Not able to walk, feeling my teeth collapsing, vision getting worse, endless pain, no sleeping not even for an hour for a decade and all I was doing (and still am) is studying and looking for answers.
Finally I decided my diagnosis was wrong and : wrong treatment, wrong medication.
I quit everything and started to get better. Still looking for a specialist to confirm if I'm right about EDS and which type it is and maybe can give me better information.
Good part: I would never "have time" for so much studying and deep researching if I could move my body as before.
I have 50+ symptoms, sick 24/7, pain that I can’t even explain.. but ana positive only + high inflammation markers always.
I am sorry to hear that!
Sound like my life
I am in my 70''s ,ppms 35 yrs, hashimotos 37 yrs. Last year strange rash on legs, derm said non specific which I interrupt, "no clue"
My ana 1:160 speckled. Dont know next step but have rheum appt in few days! Dr. G Your thoughts? TY
Thank you for watching my videos and supporting my educational efforts!
Can you discuss polymyalgia rheumatica
I have done that. Please see it in my channel!
what should someone do if they have many symptoms of an autoimmune disease and their doctors think they have one but have done many test for many years and can not get enough to show up for insurance through the veterans administration to allow a referral to a rheumatologist
Thank you for watching my channel!
Can you do voice on psoriasis?
you have some videos in my channel, here is one.....
ua-cam.com/video/IYOQpz5Q85A/v-deo.html
I had a positive ANA test , RF factor , ESR and when i finally went to rhematologist and he did a arise test and it showed ANA Iga positive and RF Igg positive. But he said i do not have lupus
Should I get a Yellow Fever vaccination if I have a positive ANA and symptoms of RA and Sjögren’s syndrome?
Thank you for watching my channel, share the videos to spread my educational content!
Doctor, is there any test, which can tell ... what is the long term complications seen with Rheumatoid arthritis? Like a sequel of this disease is sjogren' disease.. and affecting multiple organs like heart, kidney, liver , eyes etc.
And doctor i m anti ccp and RF positive ,
Can any HLA testing or any genetic testing can reveal , which can tell complication sequel in RA patient or me.
no, there is no specific test to predict !
Does an Avise test that is negative mean that you do not have lupus? I have seen three different rheumatologist. One says I have lupus, another says I have Sero negative RA, and another said I have severe fibromyalgia. I cannot give all the detailed symptoms here, but I am struggling to find the correct diagnosis.
I believe a negative test can possibly rule out lupus but you still need evaluation and follow up. I know it might be difficult but keep trying to find you’d answer. 🙏🏻
U need to understand there is no autoimmune disease but an autoimmune process.... all the autoimmune disease are very closely related in symptoms..... they always misdiagnosed.... u just focus on anti-inflammatory herbs like ginger garlic turmeric cinnamon Fenugreek etc
Even I am suffering from an autoimmune condition.... all test negative except ESR and White blood cells...went to so many specialist but all in vain..... few of them diagnosed fibromyalgia and others said it's all in your mind but I know the pains are real, muscle soreness joint pains lithergic lack of energy not getting up from bed in morning mood swing all are real
I would love to get your opinion. I have very high ANA TITRE IIF 640 , SLE negative, RF negative, DFS70 antibody positive. how do I pin point what exact automimmune disease I have
You may schedule an appointment with me
Hello im my tests are same as you,DSF70 positive,what is your end result for treat?what causes this?my doctor didnt explain well,im confused🤦🏻♀️
Im a great example of negative blood tests but positive imaging i have A.S and P.A

Hello there can you further explain about your condition?
Does everyone realize that about 20% of the healthy population has a positive ANA. Everyone of these blood test she said does not make any kind of positive diagnosis but is merely a hint. However if you are like me and have enlarged Simandl are glands, parotid glands, thyroid gland with a lot of skin rashes and 37 eye infections in a little over four years and all your blood work looks normal except for a low positive 1:40 ANA test and a low +1.2 RNP antibody test you will be sentenced to a life of neck tightness because you do not meet the bloodwork criteria that is not assure positive to begin with. Ridiculous and it's life-changing to be in this situation with some choking incidence and no one is doing anything.

@@rheumatologistoncall I would like to see people in your profession do health care and not sick care. By the time a patient meets the blood work criteria to get any kind of treatment they already have so much tissue and/ or organ damage that it is life-changing and then they will be given higher doses of a medication that could cause cancer and a lot of other problems. If patients were diagnosed quicker they could have less or smaller doses of better medications or less of the same medicines with less side effects. There needs to be more research and doctors online talking about advances in autoimmune disease diagnosis and treatment.
I am also having some serious issues and doctors are still unable to diagnose. Is there anyway i can discuss with a little bit to understand what I should do more to figure out my problem.? I am just wasting my time changing doctors and things are getting bad.
what do you mean the presences?
Thanks for asking! I do not understand the question....
I need to have an appointment with you, please. Thanks!!

I have a negative ANA test and yet positive SSA and SSB, does this happen often?
Thank you for watching my videos! subscribe to support my educational efforts and share with others
YES, that is a possibility, watch my videos about SJOGREN's
Trying to figure out if an SSRI and antipsychotic caused my autoimmune problems, my symptoms began with adverse events that happened rapidly in a short time and led to multiple iatrogenic conditions. So far my CCM eye exam was noted to have autoimmune inflammation in my cells, I have further testing at UoM, I have networked over three years to solve my case, never gave up looking for answers and I don’t plan on it
Forgot to mention recently diagnosed with POTS
Diagnosis: Post SSRI syndrome and a persistent headache disorder called occipital neuralgia was caused the antipsychotic, this was determined to be the causations due to my medical history and the timing, having no medical history and then all of sudden having my life ruined by psychiatric medications…
Why u r taking anti psychotics? There replacement is psychotherapy and yoga and many other things, if drugs r causing side effects, its better to stop them, and figure out some other treatment modes
Thank you for watching my channel! share with others to learn!
Hope you get it sorted ...I find the less I eat the better I feel ...vit D Seems to help a bit ....good luck
Was an eye doc who picked up my friends autoimmunity disease....
Great!
Thank you for watching my videos!
What are your thoughts on Fibromyalgia?
a podcast will come soon!
@@rheumatologistoncall thank you. So far I have a positive ANA and dx with Fibromyalgia. I have a really hard time accepting this dx. I have it’s more Sjögren's syndrome.
@@shannonlfonda74 same outcome myself! I feel your frustration!
Can someone comment:
Speckled 1:160. Rest autoantibody tests (incl Anca) negative.
Non itchy leg rash with scattered raised brown "spots"
Rheum suggestion, if rash recurs seek biopsy at derm.
