Full list of autoimmune tests I got

[EPguy]

This has come up in various threads, so I figure it's worth posting. I got all these in search of severe then-unspecific neuro/immune troubles. There are always more tests, but this covers a good set.

Thanks. Worth knowing!

Interesting, but as in the ancient curse "May you live an interesting life." It would be nice if we could all be much more boring in the medical arena.

Thanks for posting the information. I am sure it will benefit anyone who seems to be encountering autoimmune issues.

Thank you for another very valuable update. I am seeing several tests on the list that I have had thanks to my hematologist and endocrinologist. Your list definitely helps to put 'autoimmune' testing in context. Thanks to you I am armed with more information to bring up during my next treatment plan review. Stay safe, EPguy!
