Thank you so much for your reply. The respiratory doctor yesterday just said they were non cancerous but didn’t know if they were autoimmune connected.
I find it very hard to get information around my symptoms and rheumatologist I feel doesn’t support with clarification on things, very hard to get email response. I am very new to diagnosis and bit overwhelmed with the amount of information out there and sure what information to trust.
My symptoms are chronic chest pain, muscle and joint pain, Raynauds and fingers that swell and reduce throughout the day. Fatigue daily but then sleep disturbances at night. Bloods showed high ANA and elevated RNP. I’m not sure if I should change rheumatologist to get more support or should I stick with the one I have but be more pushy.

@mg01 Your last comment sounds familiar! I've gotten to a point with a doctor before where I just decided a direct approach might be best- I asked him what was the best way to ask my questions and communicate with him, that I wanted to get a better understanding of what everything meant and what to do. If there's not a helpful response, then I would consider moving on.
