Thank you! I was just reading about functional medicine and it sounded very appealing. The rheumatologist I was seeing had me on plaquenil and when I was having a flare up, prednisone but she decided not to keep prescribing because she could find a definitive dx. It was helping though. It’s tough too because I have hypermobility and have seen drs that have said, “well you move good…” completely disregarding hyper mobility is a part of it. My ANA last was 1:160 and I don’t recall my c reactive, but I have tested positive for rheumatoid factor but also negative so dismissed- and they don’t know why my plts are so high, have had iron infusions for my anemia…
I am going to look into functional medicine, it is intriguing.
Thank you!!
