Little bit closer

Not sure where topost this but just wanted to share last results of ANA test and that might get an appointment with Rheum doc and ultimately get closer to finding out whats going on and a diagnosis. I have hope. Its not been easy with alot symproms, pain and lack of sleep but I’m thankful for all of your help snd the help of doctors who are listening. This might be far off but i am hopefulthat whats going in with me will shed some lifht on what may have happened to my mom who passed away with MS diagnosis.

Your previous posts suggest you have Hashimoto's and Graves and PA, all of which are autoimmune,

Plus complete thyroidectomy

Low vitamin levels are extremely common as is gluten intolerance

Are you on strictly gluten free diet?

When were vitamin D, folate and ferritin last tested

Hi SlowDragon yes you are correct excpet no official diagnosis of Pa as I am negative for IF antibodies and had RAI treatment instead of thyroidectomy.

Mostly gluten free although with the holidays recently it was harder to maintain, but getting back. It has been a while for vitamin D, folate, and ferritin. I dont quite remember but hopefully they qill be tested soon.
