Undiagnosed Autoimmune with back pain, spasms, and stiffness

I was diagnosed with Sjogren’s with high SS-B antibodies, no SS-A, positive for ANA-direct (anti-nuclear antibodies). Went on hydroxychloriquine right away, which had helped my muscular skeletal pain.

Perhaps you can find another rheumatologist.

Can’t thank you enough jetsetter!
I am thinking about changing doctors
I started feeling like a “chéster”
Telling family and friends I suffer from an autoimmune disease and it was not true although I know I do. I do not make up my symptoms
First diagnosis was Sjogren’s then someone came up with a no because of the antibodies the it waz RA and now it’s not RA because some of my symptoms came back despite the methotrexate and the Humira
I was doing pretty well until a couple of months ago
Infinite thanks for your support and useful info!
I so much appreciate it!
