What did the rheumatologist say about the positive RNP antibodies? I can understand their saying there is not enough evidence for lupus, specifically, but doesn't the RNP antibody confirm something is going on? I am asking.

Some rheumatologists want to follow us every 6 months or annually. They are dealing with very sick folks with kidney failure, lung issues etc. But you have symptoms and deserve help.

I hope that treating your thyroid improves your symptoms.
