Does Headaches, Fatigue, Muscle Aches And Blurred Vision Indicate Autoimmune Disease?

I have recently got results of a positive ANA test , protein in my urine and squamous EPI result of 18. Over the past year my platelet count has dropped from 177 to 144 too. I have headaches, fatigue, muscle aches and blurred vision and overall just feel awful. I have an appointment with a Rheumatologist in the next couple of weeks. Concerned it could be an autoimmune disease?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that all of your symptoms and ANA positive is giving direction towards the autoimmune disease.
