Help with understanding test results

i remember years ago wanting to cancel a new patient appt because only 15 min was alloted. It turned out that was just a nonsensical way that system scheduled. i have found its best to not get overly concerned about bureaucratic red tape—it frequently isn’t what it appears. We also have the right to write up our on history “free form”

@elisabeth007 Thanks for your continued support. I believe you are correct about the "red tape" and such. I think I am having mixed feelings about getting a Dx. It feels kinda' like a Pandora's Box, emotionally. I think my primary concern is whether my breathing problems are related to the MCTD (which can affect lungs) IF I do in fact have MCTD.
Your "free form" history suggestion is a good one and I've started a "free form" for my appoint this Friday. My plan is to get an interpretation of the test results and a Dx, get any additional testing that's needed, and check into the cause of my breathing problems if needed.
Somehow, I know the test result is not a "fluke", which is unsettling in itself.

@elisabeth007 @becsbuddy My apologies, I am feeling pretty graceless at the moment and am floundering to cope with the "unexpected". I have an appoint with a Rheumy for this Friday and will go-if only to get an interpretation of the test results and expect she will want to run further tests and will post when I find out more.
