Advise to keep up with all your medical records and take them with you to discuss with your doctor. Most docs want easy to treat patients and do not want challenging patients. Problem Doctors want to test and test and test for years giving all kinds of meds and never actually diagnose. By then 30 years have past and still suffering.

Thanks for talking about Lupus! It is SO important to raise awareness about this complex disease!

Thank u so much for your videos, I hve been suffering ov’r 20yrs. I’ve been complaining to doctors for a long time. MCTD is not the correct diagnosis for my condition I’m almost certain. I knw MCTD can be a mixture of a lot of different autoimmune diseases but I had (8) out of the (11.)
Again, I will be getting a second opinion.

I think it is awesome for you to share this information! It helps others so much. The journey to diagnosis can be such a lonely one...as it took almost 6 years for me to get a diagnosis this year. But there really is a lack of information and awareness out here for us Loopies, so thank you 💜

I am that 2% whose aba test is negative. Yet I have every other symptom. It has been the most frustrating thing I have ever experienced in my life!

And always have complete thyroid and parathryoid testing done, including calcium levels...as abnormal results can mimic other issues.

I just read a new test for Lupus came out last year for those who have a negative ANA. It is called EliA Rib-P by Thermo Fisher Scientic Inc. Has anyone heard of it? Is it out for the public? Does insurance cover it? Thank you for a great video.
