Very true. I do have a Dermatomyositis patient and a couple of uveitis patients. But, generally, I make sure they have arthritis (that is arthritis as in joint swelling) before I send them.
Of course, if they are running fevers of 104 with a rash and pain in multiple joints, I can send them. Of course, I hate that 'cause I have to look up pauci, poly and oligo.
And I have all my patients trained to yell that their ANA is 1:256 prior to leaving.
Totally LOL.
