Mixed Rheum Tests: Sorry. Rheumatologic diagnosis can be very difficult to make sometimes. Tests results not always conclusive (i.e. seronegative rheumatoid arthritis....have rheum arthritis but blood test for rheum arthritis neg). Many times there is no specific diagnosis. Be patient. Continue to follow up with your rheumatologist. I know it is frustrating. Many of these conditions are. Best of luck.
