Ok great. Then suggest a differential diagnosis instead of just shrugging and sending the person home when they came to you desperate for help lol

You should refrain from posts like this as a doctor and save it for personal conversations with patients. It comes across as presumptive and not assuring. There are too many doctors now a days who can’t wait to stick a diagnosis of anxiety and/or not try harder for patients who have complex issues or patients with typically normal labs. Sure, not every patient is going to have an autoimmune disease, but that doesn’t stop a patient from having debilitating pain, rashes, fevers, etc that can mimic an autoimmune issue and now have to wait another several weeks, months, years for answers. That much time can kill someone. It’s sad :/

and then you'll diagnose anxiety and fibromyalgia so the patient can never get proper help again:))

Sometimes it’s Autoinflammatory and not Autoimmune …. There’s a number of adult onset Autoinflammatory diseases and more are being discovered every year.

as long as this comes with a referral to a different specialty and no stigmatizing charting, seems pretty obvious

Oof. This would be the kind of doctor who believes a negative MRA over neck pain, headaches and a positive macaroni sign on a carotid ultrasound. I have Takayasu's Arteritis and have had both kinds of doctors.
