Have been being tested for about 8 months, first DNA came back indeterminent (7), second a month later was (9), now, a while later, it moved into the positive range of 18.
ANA was negative in April and has not been retested.
Symptoms, ailments:
Fatigue
Shortness of breath (it's getting worse-can ride a bike 50 miles, flat paths, but can't walk a mile without getting winded, or upstairs)
tingling and numbness in foot
arthritis in thumbs, hips
chest pain upon deep breathing and or sneezing (lasted about a month)
Raynouds
Hypothyroid

What is your take (anyone) on this? Have appointment with Rheumatologist for first time on Wed this week.

Thanks for your help.
