Q: Help? New Test Results.

My first visit with my rhuemy was on june 16th. At that time she diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and raynauds, prescribed elavil and naprosyn and sent me to take new bloods and x-ray of my hands. I was referred to her by gp because of joint pain, shortness of breath, hair loss, sunsensitivity a host of other symptoms as well as a positive ana 1:40 speckled, rhuematoid factor high 34 and anti ds dna 14.0. Today I went to get a copy of the recent blood work ( have not seen the doctor to discuss the results yet) that was done on the 16th. The ones that were taken before are basically the same, but the new ones i'm not sure about. I could use some insight from you guys. Wink thanks wave

new blood work: ( l=low, h=high)

hct l35.2
esr h41
tsh 1.40
ana pattern = speckled
ana reaction = positive
ana titer = 1:40
anti dna abs ds = *<12.0
anti smith antibodies = neg
anti rnp = neg
anti ssa = neg
anti ssb = neg
complement c3 = 155
complement c4 = h49.0
complement total = l100
c reactive protein = 0.65
rhuematoid factor = h33
hepatitis c antibody = *non reactive
