techincally you could still have something on the spectrum of connective tissue diseases with current antibodies negative, but +ANA are pretty common in the health population. best bet is probably continuous follow up with a single primary care doctor, and referral to whatever specialists they think best.
ostive ANA test, titer of 1:320 and speckled pattern, but negative Connective tissue testI'm a 35 yo Caucasian female, 5'5 and 170 lbs (back to back pregnancies), I vape, I take Omeprazole and lyrica 200 mg daily. The lyrica is for seizures, not pain.Ok, so I just had a bunch of labs drawn, because I've been having numerous symptoms of an autoimmune disease. Chronic fatigue, mouth sores that will randomly show up, lots of head aches, severe random bouts of pain that show up in joint areas that debilitates me when they "flare up". Crippling anxiety, and depression is worsening. And lastly, a random rash that will spread across my cheeks and nose, and sometimes radiate into the tips of my ears.I had a positive ANA test, but the more specific tests showed that I was negative for connective tissue disorders like lupus, RA and sjogrens to name a few. Everything looked fine, and my doctor told me that I probably just have inflammation somewhere in my body.My questions are:. Could I still have something like lupus, even tho the CTD labs were negative, but ANA had all 3 parts show abnormal results? And, this isn't my first positive ANA test. It happened 6 years ago, but nothing further was looked into. Where do I go from here to get better answers? All these symptoms are debilitating my life.
