Background music is disturbing. Bad sound. can't quite follow your whole story. Unfortunately.

Thank you for the video. I have recently found out that I am Anti Centromere positive and was only tested because I have had Raynaud's a couple years. My question, is there a possibility that you can have organ involvement long before Raynaud's shows up.? Like ILD, arrythmia issues causing a need for a Pace Maker with no disease and even an episode of Pulmonary Hypertension upon examine, that did not show on Echo.? I am not sure how aggressive I should be in getting additional testing done. I have been told, this is early into the disease process because I do not have an nail issues and lets wait 3 months.

UK. One consultant told me Lupus and another Sclero Derma. I started with Fibromyalgia. Still not a lot further forwards. I have positive ANA and Rheumatoid factors. I'm really not getting a lot of help and noone seems interested. I treat myself alternatively Curcumin oil has been a massive help. As have diet, Probiotic and 1000mg a day, but D and vit B12. Thank you so much makes a lot of sense. Wish you were my doctor.

I have had Raynauds for 30 years. Eating a small amount of root ginger each day helps me. Plus when you feel very cold the best thing to do is to MOVE your body! Dance or walk quickly - this is so effective. I have never smoked.

Please do it with no music. It’s very distracting to hear you.

I was diagnosed with AS at 22 along with HLA-B27, forced into retirement at 45, due to neglecting treatment, got re-diagnosed, now 55, on 5 meds just to walk, along with Cosentyx which is way better than Humira in my opinion. It has now affected all my tendons and ligaments, so, don't neglect the symptoms

I have psoriasc arthritis, my joints hurt ,especially in the morning

What does a Mitotic, Intercellular Bridge pattern mean with a ANA Titer 1:80?

I take Prednisone for ah month 15mg per day. Oneday in noticed my stomach is not normal i have diarrhea waterry stool almost 4weeks of diarrhea....

Just got diagnosed and this video spoke to me. It all makes sense now.

Medication for RA can also contribute to abnormal cholesterol level

GREAT video. Would you consider doing a video on Mixed Connective Tissue Disease?

The reactiv app seems to be gone from Google play. I found another one when I search hand therapy. I haven't tried it yet.

your vid worked for me. I am a life long mechanic and tech, most of my life and when my hands don't work im screwed. it comes and goes in my hands. sometimes its hard to solder a wire or put a nut and bolt together. very frustrating. I will follow tour advice. TY.

If ANA negative no way you can have lupus our whatever . So you have ANA with Hasha.otos?

How do we get this test????

What about folate rather then folic acid, which I understand is synthetic.

I’ve never felt so seen. Had IBD and back pain for 15 years, knee problems, Achilles tendon pain, fatigue. Had to fight to get an appointment with rheumatologist today and she tied all of my problems together, including my siblings psoriasis etc. I feel like I’m finally on a path to healing and improving my quality of life.

Best infomation ever!

Can the ANA be negative and still have an illness?

😎😎😎Just subscribed

I have Osteo-arthritis in both of my hands and wrists. But! I also have Pseudo gout in both hands. The pain is constant, and my dexterity is greatly reduced. I have Carpal Tunnel in both wrists, having had one operated on, and the doctors deciding that the left wrist wasnt as compromised as the right, so they left that one alone. Its constant pain 😢

Well explained. Thank you so much. Do you have a video on myositis?

I heard that you can’t take ibruprofen when taking prednisolone. ? It’s not mentioned here

What are your thoughts on lifestyle/stress bringing about symptoms?

I am ankylosing spondy litis

I am suffering with sjogrens for 5 years now and because my test was negative, NO ONE will help me. Dry throat is so bad, my thyroid is obviously messed up now.

Thank you much Dr 😊

Thank you Dr Ortiz 😊 Heard of Clint Paddison of Paddison program?

Great Advise! Rheumatology is so complex. Your a very smart lady!

I was told no medication will take the pain away, that’s true it only takes the edge off.

Thank you for all your wonderful content. I’m definitely learning a ton. I’m going from seeing my doc. Once a year for Raynaud’s for several years to a ton more and being diagnosed with lupus. This is all so scary for me.

U r so beautiful

I have so many questions and so many diagnoses…

Is there anything that is safe to take for Ankylosing Spondylitis? I need something to get this pain under control but am so afraid of the side-effects and of damaging my liver that I stopped taking the methotrexate that had been working so well for me for years. I have an appointment with a new rheumatologist....June 30, 2025....but I am having flareups monthly and each is getting worse. I don't know what to do. I am 74 and AS made its first appearance in 1975...diagnosed 1985... first treatment 2005 +/-. Except for the AS I am in excellent health.

Three? Rheumatologist, PCD, retina specialist, immunologist, cardiologist, pulmonologist, psychiatrist, and orthopedic specialist. Plus dental specialists. I'm pretty sure none of them shares information with the others. I maintain a spreadsheet of medications and a summary of medical history to keep them all informed. I would rather take a sharp poke in the eye than start a new doctor. Favorite comment from my new PCP..."You're on a lot of medications." Ya think? 😂

Doctors dont listen to us middle aged women

I have this & so painful. Nothing I can do

Multiple sclerosis 20 years and hashimotos (3 almost 4 years) 😢

Pth and thyroid problems already deformed fingers painful joints and bones snd dr wouldn’t run all tests and push synthetic thyroid hormones. 😡

A lot of us with UCTD also suffer from dry eye and mouth. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, these rheumatoid diseases.

What an interesting story, especially concerning the lungs. I have UCTD and I have small nodules on my fingers and elbow. Curious if some RA patients or a rheumatoid disease patients present with high d-dimer blood tests. My dr ordered one and I had a high d-dimer and had to go straight to the CT lung scan. My lungs are perfect. And, no clots. I looked into this and read some RA patients can have high d-dimer. Apparently it can be caused by inflammation.

Is it possible to have both ?

I have discoid lupus my face and scalp got rashes and my hairfall starts what medicine should i take to cure this? Please help

It's 3:44am and I am wide awake and in pain.

I got lucky after waiting 3 months, I was told it was going to be 6 months. Luckily, she is very thorough and knowledgeable and probably the best I could have hoped for. Being random, I got super lucky.
