I have a rheumatologist appt coming up soon. I tested positive for my auto immune disease test. I was wondering what I should expect? How long does it take to be diagnosed with something, and what are the chances you usually have something?

Never been to one before .. I guess this could be why I feel sick all the time. Currently nauseous with joint pain so bad. Feels like I have the flu but without the flu. Just the bone aches

Join the lupus group on here you will get better answers over there :) (lupus is an autoimmune disease)

Learn everthing you can about whatever you are diagnosed with

I have autoimmune eczema

Learn about alternative therapies too I am not saying reject traditional medicine but it is good to know how others manage and all the different ways and approaches

There are many people living with autoimmune conditions it is on the rise

Never take the herb Rhodiola as it stimulates the immune system I took it and I exploded with eczema

You need to calm down.your immune system, you will probably be prescribed steroids
