What could this be? Positive ANA/ENA + Anti-Centromere B at 23F with daily migrating body throbs since February. I can’t see a rheumatologist until July.
My first appointment with a rheumatologist isn't until July, but l've been experiencing symptoms since February. A day has not been missed since l first noticed symptoms back then. For context, I'm 23F. I would love to get an idea from people here of what this could be, since l've been searching things up online incessantly with no direction. After about two weeks of ongoing symptoms with no sign of improvement, it became clear to me that I need to see my doctor. I got blood work done and my ANA and ENA came back positive. ANA 1:160 (speckled) and ENA positive with positive anti-centromere B antibodies. These labs were done in April.
I'm a bit baffled because I went to my doctor with the most unusual thing being what I described as random throbs all over my body, literally head to toe. It's in my joints, the most random locations on my body, and it travels. There's days where it is more constant and others, like today, where it is more few and far between. In my hands it's both in my joints and hands, but most often I feel like it in the dorsal part of my hands and it's like my veins are throbbing. As I was writing this, I briefly felt it in my left left, radiating from my ankle to my knee.
I also began having mild migraines that are intermittent. These are not necessarily daily but they do happen often enough to where I list them as something l've been experiencing. I haven't had any fever or fatigue. I also don't have Raynaud's. I'm really unsure what to make of this, coupled with the ANA and ENA results. Additionally, I have tried to find people with similar symptoms online and I haven't found anything. I was initially thinking of fibromyalgia, but that wouldn't explain the ANA and ENA results. I'd greatly appreciate some insight!
