I'm not sure what you mean. It was done via Quest.

Thank you! I should have thought to try this myself. I'll get my next ANA lab at Quest through Walkinlabs.

Mine have all been through Mass General Brigham.

I hate to say it, but the majority of my care there has been substandard. I just had a punch biopsy to check for connective tissue disorders and Behçet's and it went to a depth of 1 mm. 5 to 7 is the standard. The report was, needless to say, "Inconclusive." They also didn't do immunofluorescence staining, which is the best means to check for many connective tissue disorders, like lupus.

At this point, they are either comically awful or they're trying to get me to move on. So I guess I should move on.
