SCL-70 anti body is only result showing, anyone else had this?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello all!

So to get to the point, I have been suffering with a range of symptoms (chronic upper abdominal pain, IBS, neck/shoulder pain, nerve pain down arms/hands, feet numbness tingling, and additionally now muscle/joint pain all over but mainly in hands/arms/legs feet) over the last few years with each one flaring and then never leaving.

I have had a lot of tests all being negative with Neurology, Gastro and Rheumatology. However the only one that has flagged up was my scl-70 blood test this was done over a year ago and I am currently awaiting the test that was repeated a week or so ago to see if this has raised or not.

Have any of you shown scl-70 on your blood count and had similar symptoms? The rheumatologist said they believe i have raynaud's and fibro along with some other issues.

if your interested I can explain anything morr.

    following this question I also under went a Capillaroscopy and thermograph. There was haemorrhages on the capillaries test but it wasn't conclusive enough to give a start out diagnosis.

    I have many of the symptoms including bad Raynaud's, muscle pain issues and high blood pressure. But rheumatology can't give me a diagnosis yet as I dont have any thickened skin.

    Awaiting heart test results and lung test next month.
