A member asked:
Ana speckled pattern, fibromyalgia, ibs inflamm. n hands/feet. rhuematologist thinks it's ra instead of mctd. is it possible with rnpab, igg high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You do not mention the rheumatoid factor and ccp antibody results but an inflammatory polyarthritis can certainly be RA even with other autoantibodies positive. I personally believe that mctd if it does really exist is over diagnosed. Imo, if you follow these patients most turn out to have lupus.
