A member asked:
Doctor thinks i have a rare autoimmune disease that isn't usually detected in testing? she is referring me to a rheumatologist? what might it be?

I don't know: as you didn't mention specifics, even though we won't be able to diagnose online. Rheumatologist would have more detailed history and physical exam, may order some tests, or may rule it out completely, good luck
