@elisabeth007 I believe my liver tests have always been good on the CBC panels, I have had repeatedly high eosinophils over the years though on the CBC panel, which have been ignored. I Did unexpectedly develope a severe Vit D deficiency later in life. I just learned last night that low Vit D is a "hallmark" with auto immune patients according to the following site: (Yes, I have resorted to Youtube videos at this stage of my desperate hunt for info. Snork!) Another addition to my list of symptoms.

Am really struggling to find a rheuemy who won't write me off, despite the auto immune test results. I want the correct dx and correct meds and don't have a lot of years left to be "strung along" with no real answers and fear a worsening of misdiagnosed symptoms. I am currently frustrated that my auto immune test results don't give "titers" as such, or provide a "pattern". Instead, they just show positive for the ANA and 1.9 (high) for the RNP. People talk of ratios (like 1:320) and patterns that I didn't get with my results. It appears that those can make a big difference.

for what ever it’s worth, i do not believe that vitamin d defiency is always a hallmark of auto-immune disease. in my situation, albeit i have osteoporosis i can only take a low dose of vitamin D. I have that monitored by endochrinologist. Wishing you all the best
