Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a hematological disorder. I agree with your attending physician on the need of consulting a rheumatologist. The presence of positive ANA is another argument, besides your clinical symptoms in favor of a hematological disorder. I would also recommend performing a nerve conduction study to exclude possible neuropathy, which could explain some of your symptoms. Further tests may be needed (prescribed by the rheumatologist) to investigate for the possible cause of all this clinical scenario and determine the true diagnosis and help find the proper treatment options. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
