Guest guest Posted August 11, 1999 Report Share Posted August 11, 1999 , Rheumotologist are trained to see rheumatic disease, connective tissue disease, so many Lyme patients who see them get diagnosed with Lupus or other connective tissue disease. My ANA is 1:1280 and 1:80 is suggestive of Lupus. Most lyme patient so not have an ANA as high as mine but many do get connective tissue diagnosis, i.e., Lupus, Schleroderma, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc., when evidentially they get to a Lyme literate physician who diagnoses them with Lyme disease. I was one of those cases. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
