i am updating
i have an appointment with a pulmonologist in june.
i had an ANA test and tested positive and i as recommended a rheumatologist.
i self ordered the ana test through quest and as well as CBC test. my platelets were 419 in November which isnt really as high as they can go but it was 392. the nurse did not want to retest so i ordered that one too. i saw my platelets elevating for awhile and im wondering if that can be a problem as well. i had a lyme test but that was negative.
it has been a long time since i was in any wooded areas. i had one embedded when i was a teenager but ti was removed ASAP
yesterday i rode my bike and drank some water and showered but i had a fever of 100.6
as for the ANA test i had a specked pattern and there were some antibodies tested, but they tested negative.

With a positive ANA, fatigue, enlarged lymph nodes and shortness of breath you may want your Rheumatologist to check you for Sjogren's. It is an annoying autoimmune disorder that cause a lot of inflammation including enlarged lymph nodes. Sometime they are enlarged because you are having inflammation but sometimes Sjogren's can cause Non-hodgkin's marginal zone lymphoma. Definitely have biopsy of the large lymph nodes. I am speaking from past and current experience with all of this. Best of luck to you!
