Hi @glued2thebook, Welcome to Connect. You mentioned you were diagnosed with Lupus 34 years ago and it changed to intermediate RA. Does that mean you no longer have Lupus or just the symptoms changed to RA?

Hi John, that’s what my nephrologist told me. I had kidney problems; bleeding, right renal artery stenosis et al so He would always check bloodwork etc. Rh level was in the 500’s. I should my rheumatologist and his response was that everyone has elevated. rh levels. So, went back to nephrology (whom I have the highest regards for) adamantly disagreed. He said RA. Switched rheumatologist and she said I d have RA. But now, he said my blood work is baffling him. In his opinion I’m transitioning to mixed connective …I’m determined that no matter what “it” is, I want my bucket list to be longer than my medical list.
