Blood work and misdiagnosed!?!

You’re not crazy at all. No one would listen to me either till I went to Mayo and the new PA I have. So when I had my test for ANA and it came back positive from my PA which I had done at Quest for labs my rheumatologist told me that there is a difference in the ANA tests from different labs. They are different brands and not all are the same. I had my blood work done at Mayo which a lot of them come back same day if not within a week. I have fibromyalgia and raynauds. I was also told by my rheumatologist just because a test comes back negative for something doesn’t mean you don’t have it. Just means the test just doesn’t pick it up. I even had a nail fold test which is one for raynauds and it came up negative. The doctor that performed the test said you don’t have Raynauds just because it didn’t look text book. My fingers don’t react as much as my toes do. I told my rheumatologist what she said and he said no you have Raynauds. I have pics. So you just have to keep going till you find that doctor that will believe you. I don’t know where you’re located but there is a doctor that will care. I would be more then happy to try and help u locate a doctor in your area. 🙏❤️
