I would like to get the ANA test, but I don't want my PCP to do it. Are there any options you guys would recommend for testing?

Thank you !!

Anybody can order a ANA panel.

You can go to any walk in clinic and say you want a full ANA panel.

Of course, they will get the results.

They will call you and then you can get your own copy.

Couldn't your LLMD just order it?

Hugs,
