I was diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome about 6 yrs ago and have seen the same dr. ever since. Recently I had to change drs due to insurance. My 1st visit was a week ago where i got a full exam and bloodwork done. The dr. called me today and said that my RA-was pos. but my ANA was neg. He stated he wasnt exacty sure I had it at all. How can this be. Can you have bloodtests and sometimes they dont show Sjogrens?
Dear what drugs are you using for jogrens syndrome??? what about SSA/SSB tests?? what about other other tests??
Dear you may be suffering from mixed connective tissue disorder (MCTD). in MCTD rheumatoid factor may come positive. options vary according to the cause.
many drugs like corticosteroid,immunomodulators, immunosuppressive drugs ,anti malarial and anti neoplastic drugs can be used. please consult your rheumatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
take care
