I have no diagnosis as yet. My sx are extreme fatigue, brain fog, peripheral neuropathy, and just generally do not feel well. My ANA was positive as well as antiRNA . CREACTIVE PROTEIN SLIGHTLY ELEVATED.All other components of the panel were negative. Magnesium was slightly low. B12 , CBC and Tsh were normal SED RATE NORMAL. I don't feel like doing anything. I seem to get stressed easier. I AM hot at times cold at others, but generally notice intolerance to heat. Thoughts?? My rheumatology appointment is pending.

Hello @lucindaj1, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sure you will feel less stressed when you finally figure out what is going on with your health and get a diagnosis. There is another discussion here on Connect which may be helpful to you. It does mention some of your symptoms.

You mentioned that you have brain fog and peripheral neuropathy along with extreme fatigue. Are you on any medications for these symptoms?
