My ana was high and was refered to a rhuematologist. He ordered blood test for vitamin D thyroid and DNA.
thyroid was slightly high as well as DNA, however he did not give diagnosis.
He wants to retest inn 6 mos.
Is this a good plan to take? I would rather take the test sooner so if I have an autoimmune disease I could start treatment.
