Positive ANA but Diagnosed with Fibro: Is it Something More?

Does any one else have a positive ANA but was only diagnosed with Fibro? I wonder if it’s something more.

Yes I’ve been told I have fibro even though it’s beyond pain and more systemic. Joint and organ damage, rashes, hair loss, fever, etc. I have an appointment with a rheumo and I documented EVERYTHING to hopefully give them a better idea. Advocate for yourself and do your research. Document your symptoms. You got this and I believe you.

Disease gets worse and worse and worse until it’s treated.

Keep a record of your symptoms. I was told for so long all I had was fibro. Remember this, if you are getting worse that’s progressive, fibromyalgia is a disorder of pain. So you should have a baseline and flares. But you are having autoimmune type symptoms (I’m losing my hair and have rashes) than report it to your doctor.
