Posted on Mon, 24 Oct 2016
Question: Whenever I eat I begin to swell. My lymph glands become enormous and my neck looks like a football linebacker. I'e had hives for six months. I have hair loss and have been excessively sweating. My body temperature is very low. It's been happening for six months. I've been to allergists and i have no allergies. My mom and great grandma had Graves Disease yet none of the thyroid tests show Graves. Help!

Brief Answer:
Get done serum ANA titer.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since all other reports are normal, we should rule out connective tissue diseases (CTD).
So get done serum ANA titer. If this is elevated then get done detailed ANA profile to identify the type of CTD.
Please let me know
1. Do you have joint pains?
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
