What a perfect way to spend my Saturday morning walking in beautiful Palm Beach to support the mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children. 💛 The crisp morning air, breathtaking sunrise, sparkling water, and yachts drifting by made it even more special. 🌅Grateful to be part of something bigger—every step brings hope to children and families. 🙏✨

The best and most accurate way to check your vitamin D status is a simple blood test that measures something called 25-hydroxyvitamin D—or 25(OH)D for short.

Now, here’s a really important point: sometimes labs or even doctors might check the active form of vitamin D, called 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. But that’s not a reliable marker of your vitamin D stores—it can actually look normal even if you’re deficient.

Hi 👋 I’m Dr. Khan, a board certified rheumatologist fueled by passion to help others heal. But for years, I poured so much into my patients that I left little for myself.

At 40, everything shifted—I realized that sacrificing my own health in the name of service wasn’t sustainable. How could I guide others toward wellness if I wasn’t living it myself?

So, I chose to rewrite my story. I embraced five powerful, modifiable pillars—nourishing food, restful sleep, mindful presence, meaningful connections, and joyful movement.

Today, I’m not just a doctor—I’m a role model for my children and my patients, showing that wellness is possible at any age. Because true healing begins when we lead by example.

One of the most important things I focus on as a Rheumatologist is improving my patients’ quality of life. For those living with chronic illnesses, the very first sign of progress is often when their pain begins to ease. I see every day how difficult it is to live with chronic pain, and my priority is to do everything I can to help relieve it. I use a variety of tools and approaches, always mindful to avoid exposing patients to unnecessary medications.

As a rheumatologist, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to treat fibromyalgia. Even with FDA-approved medications like Cymbalta, pregabalin, and Savella, we often need to rely on off-label options, supplements, and integrative therapies to help our patients.That’s why I’m particularly excited about a new FDA-approved option as of August 15, 2025—the first major approval for fibromyalgia treatment in 15 years! What makes this especially promising is that it’s a sublingual medication. From a rheumatology standpoint, absorption is key to efficacy, and a sublingual option can reduce systemic side effects while providing faster relief.This new treatment is sublingual cyclobenzaprine, designed to be taken at bedtime for maximum benefit. Many of us have prescribed oral cyclobenzaprine for fibromyalgia in the past, but its use has often been limited by side effects.In clinical trials with 457 patients, those taking the sublingual form experienced significant improvements in pain, sleep disruption, fatigue, and “fibro fog”, with fewer side effects than the oral version. Importantly, it did not cause weight gain like some other options, such as pregabalin.The company anticipates this medication will be available within the next 3 months, so patients may be able to get a prescription by the end of this year. Pricing has not yet been confirmed, but it’s expected to be expensive. Hopefully, given the limited options for fibromyalgia, insurance companies will work to make it more accessible.

A positive ANA doesn’t always mean lupus. 🧪It’s a screening test, not a diagnosis. It can show up in healthy people too.👉 Next steps? A rheumatologist takes a full history, exam, and orders more specific tests like anti-dsDNA or anti-Smith antibodies. These can strongly suggest lupus, but no single test gives the whole answer.Bottom line: ANA is just the first step. The full picture matters.📌 For education only—not medical advice.Follow .Khan_Arthritis for more autoimmune insights.

Positive ANA doesn’t always mean lupus! 🧬
ANA (antinuclear antibodies) are proteins your immune system sometimes makes when it’s a little confused.
Even healthy people can test positive.
Your doctor will always look at your symptoms, exam, and other labs before deciding if it’s meaningful.
