I am not impressed with the rheumatologist.

One common blood test for autoimmune diseases is an antinuclear antibody (ANA) test. Abnormally high blood levels of ANA can be indicative of, though not necessarily diagnostic of, autoimmune diseases like RA and SLE among others.

There is a description of ANA testing here.

RACGP - Antinuclear antibody test
