He didn't discuss what the specific tests would be for, just that I'd need to have further blood tests. I've got the blood test form which is requesting the following: Blood film, ESR, Full blood count, creatine kinase, CRP, Liver, TSH, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, Anti nuclear antibody and IgG A M & Electrophoresis.

@change25 I don’t know about the States, but in Canada a primary physician has to order some tests based on your symptoms, before sending a referral to a specific specialist. The results of the tests gives your physician a better idea as to which specialist you need to see. The referral to the specialist is accompanied by these test results and a brief note on your medical history.
