Yes follow up please: There are additional tests which may be performed to determine whether you have developed auto antibodies. I would suggest seeing a Rheumatologist for evaluation. Do you have joint pain? Healthtap also offers consultations in this area, if you upload information for an inbox consultation with a Rheumatologist. Labs and prescriptions provided as indicated. Please request additional testing.
