Help with understanding test results

@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.

Rebaba, None of my business but is your goal to feel better or to determine if you have a particular condition you read about?
When you say you know the test result is not a fluke, i don’t know what you are talking about and i don’t have medical diagnostic skills. However, i have had numerous abnormal test results that were normal when re-tested. it’s my belief, if we can strive to be as resilient and flexible, life tends to be easier. Wishing you all the best
