I have been diagnosed with RNP positive. I have dry eyes problem. Is RNP positive alone considered as RA? My ANA was negative and all other things negative. My eosinophils are 8.5% in my blood, and I am always suffering from col. I am on HCQS 200 and Defza 6 mg. Please help me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You may be suffering from mixed connective tissue disorder. But do not worry you may have to take above medications along with that you may take tablet Banocide forte 100 mg twice daily for three weeks. Avoid using plastic. Take plenty of fruits with vegetables. Use tablet Levocetirizine in case of itching. If necessary may need to start Methotrexate and Folic acid. Please continue the above treatment. Please consult your rheumatologist; he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care.
