yes, that is how they found out i had an autoimmune. i had Uveitis, went to specialist who asked if i had lupus or RA? I said neither one i know of and he told me to get checked because he rarely sees uveitis without an autoimmune disease. I got tested and sure enough i have several. I always thought i did and had been tested numerous times throughout my life but finally caught the lab at the right time.

Thanks, I wish I had requested the ANA when I got the diagnosis. Now, that the inflammation has cleared up, I think it would probably be negative. If it recurs, I will request the ANA

Thank you for your reply ! Yes, it’s all pieces to the puzzle. I’m so frustrated because know there’s something behind all my symptoms. As they say it takes a while to get a diagnosis which is so unfortunate.
