Well, im 61 and lived with autoimmune disease. I have PBC and Bronchiectasis, along with AT3 deficiency 3 tia’s Barrett’s disease. (Not cancer) Esphogeal scleroderma. Along with many other things. The entire problem with me is the only thing I suffer with is chronic pain and extreme fatigue. Refuse to diagnose me with anything. Just because of my markers. It’s crazy how one has to suffer with no answers. And when I go to new Drs all I hear is did anyone ever tell you .. if you have LUPUS! Imagine that. So until they call it no meds.! It’s never ending. Good luck with your stuff and feel better!

I know that until you find a rheummy that will actually look at your other antibodies your diagnosis can go no where. I spent 4 years with a rheummy with a weird ana and no diagnosis and loads of symptoms. It was my 3rd rheummy who realized that she was seeing something that didn't fit. I think they have a hard time. The human body is just too variable. But I can let you know about something that might help with the pain. (It did mine.) Low Dose Naltrexone. Read about it first. It might even help your immune system. Good luck and best wishes.
