Just recently diagnosed with this condition, have ran ANA and was positive for inflammation. Had colonoscopy to rule out any tumors, diverticulitis, etc. All was good there. No waiting for more tests to be scheduled to see if there is an underlying cause. I have suffered from kidney stone for last 12 years. Actually went to er thinking I had another stone when they discovered the MP because of the enlarged lymph nodes and swelling. Anyone else suffer from this, have information they can share, etc. My family Dr. is really good about researching and referring to other Drs. when he doesn't know. Just seems there isn't much information about this condition.

Thank you John. I see where others discuss specific diets to control inflammation, more information on that would be great. Also, what other testing can be done to determine possible causes and treatments of the condition.
