Further tests need to be done by the rheumatologist even when he (she) has the results of pending tests. Please patiently wait for the appointment and further work up.

While we wish for tests that give a clear answer, the ANA in particular is not a clear answer. It's important to know why the ANA was ordered, and the characteristics of the symptoms such as joint pain and fatigue. Tests as presented do not constitute a diagnosis. It is hard to wait, but your doctor is calling in a specialist's opinion. Best wishes.
