@windyshores — Thanks so much for your quick response. I really appreciate this forum.

My anti-RNP was 2.7. The normal range was listed as < 1.

The rheumatologist was very helpful. She asked a lot of questions. I have widespread body pain that comes and goes. I don’t have other issues like swelling of joints, dry eyes, rashes etc - all the other symptoms often seen with specific autoimmune diseases.

I was reading that an elevated anti-RNP absent any other elevated results in the Antinuclear Panel (with automatic ENA panel) signifies MCTD which is a combination of the more common autoimmune diseases. But I don’t have any other symptoms that go along with the very specific autoimmune diseases at this time.

I am wondering if the advice will be to watch and wait and see if other symptoms arise in the future.
