What are your symptoms and what is the autoimmune disease they are thinking you have?

Testing usually starts with blood work...lots of it. But again they usually head in a specific direction based upon your symptoms. Like Sjogren's if you have dry mouth, eyes, etc, Lupus if you have the malar rash and more organ involvement, and RA if you have severe joint problems.

Are you seeing a rheumatologist for this testing?
