Keep bugging the doctor until u get answers or get a second opinion

I had a positive antibody test and my doctor said that he couldn't diagnose off of that since it isn't an approved form of diagnostic testing, so I'm finding a new doctor. If you're comfortable with it, give your doc a little pushback to dig deeper with the biopsy testing or find a second opinion. Wishing you the best of luck!

I have been diagnosed with Sjögren’s. I have all the same symptoms. I have had Lyme disease & I believe still having long term symptoms of that also. It all started 20 years ago when no one wanted to believe or test. I did have many problems & finally when my thumb and index finger quit working the University of Michigan rerouted my nerve and said I had lymes. I have had many joint problems & many surgeries. I wish you all the best and hope you get the help you need.

I have had pretty inconsistent blood work sometimes I get a positive sometimes I get a negative. Continue to monitor for changes. Unfortunately autoimmune can take a long time to gather the info to get a diagnosis.
