More blood tests before being referred to rheumatologist?
Hi all The reason I'm mentioning this is because I had a whole lot of tests late November - one of which was a positive ANA and was asked to speak to the GP in a non-urgent way. For one reason and another (Xmas and appointments being booked up several weeks in advance), I finally got to see GP last week

Excessive Sweating/Hyperhidrosis
Hi all. I'm from the UK. Can excessive sweating be a symptom of SS? I have heard it can be a part of the Autonomic Nervous System becoming dysfunctional. My thyroids and other hormones seem fine. I'm not diagnosed with SS but had ANA positive a few weeks ago and waiting to see GP but fear he will dismiss
