I wish this man was my doctor. I was have a positive ANA. With sjogrens antibody. I also have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Causing fibromyalgia. I've had it with doctors not taking my diagnosis more seriously. I'm miserable!
Every time I get bloodwork done and there are high ANA levels, my doctors just continue looking for more symptoms. It's like they want me to have 14/14 and even if I have 9/14, it isn't enough for them to be ready to do something. Kinda like how I've had ridiculous menstrual pain for the last 13 years but no one even sent me for scans on my pelvic area until the past 10 months. And they wonder why people are trusting the system less and less. Thanks for the video ... I feel validated in my complaints with how my ANA results are being ignored.
I have a positive ANA at 1:640, FANA screening reveals Speckled at low titers and Homogeneous throughout. Rheumatoid Factor is positive as is C-Reactive Protiens. I have constant pain of muscles cramping (like charlie horses) and it causes a pulling on the nerves which resulted in two tennis elbow and now is happening on large tendon in my leg...and like you say in your video...they wait. They tell you to just live with it.
My God! It's as if you were making these videos about my life!!! Unbeleivable... My doctor said that "Oh, it's nothing significant, let's wait and see if the results go back to normal. And even if they don't - it's not high enough for concern." I was diagnosed with Fibro, and have no idea what to do about it at this point.
Ive had issues for years now, being tossed around from doctor to doctor. Finally my ana blood test came back positive and referred me to a rheumatologist, but this rheumatologist hasnt even scheduled me and say they lost my lab work etc....so finding another. Could a positive ANA also hint that you may have cancer? Since cancer is an autoimmune disease?? I have major pain esp in upper spine feels like its all bunched up, major fatigue and nausea, joint pain and soreness, dizziness, ive had seizures on occasion, migraines, bloated stomach, diarrhea, rash on my bottom, i have jaundice.... i just dont know what else this could be.... i feel like im dying and that no one cares about me.... i have medicaid and its hard to find anyone that accept it.... i had a mri on my brain done last year and it came out normal.... only thing abnormal was my ANA blood test. Ive also been to a chiropractor who did an xray on my spine and nothing is wrong with my spine.... so confused... i just wanted to feel normal again and raise my children right. Im 26 but i feel like im 80...please help me.
You make so much sense and have helped me so much with your vids!!! I called your office this past Fri because I am only a few hrs away. I’m hoping to be able to come see you to HELP ME! Mainstream Drs are not helping me! Wish I had the money to come see you TOMORROW! Thank you for all the information and encouragement you share!
I totally agree with you. A rheumatologist told my that my blood work say that I have an autoimmune disease due to a car accident I had in 2005. He also said that I am fine, but any time anyone goes to do blood work it will say I have Lupus and that I do not have to worry because I am eating right and exercising. I agree with you 100%God Bless
nailed it... So many docs do just that. I had a nero doing that. We changed and a GOOD nero specialist took time to really do so many test, and acted on the findings of it. Had it long time, and now need lots of surgeries to put me back... finally he says she is possitive and the other doc is fired.
I tested positive for ANA recently also my sedimentation rate was above 15 it started when my right hand kept getting inflamed I'M a train operator that's exposed to alot of brake dust
I have a ANA of 1:80 My doctor tested me for all the possible autoimmune diseases and I come back negative. What should he do next? Should he give me so prednisone now?
This recently happened to me before my soccer season and my doctors just keep telling me I’m fine because I don’t display all symptoms of what the MCTD shows. Any thoughts of places that’ll help me in the Illinois are doc?
ANA 1:640.... Is this high enough or just some fun Doctor took me to the hospital cos of high ana and then took me to many testings finaly there wasn't nothing important /apart from vaskulitis/vaskulopaty in brain/ but it isn't big illness so we will "WAIT AND SEE" how I will do and then we will do with it something - maybe - if something will be damaged or blood test won't be good... I am on Prednison it make it worse,it put imune syst.down so we don't know true about body. I am scared.
So why was me ANA tests come clear but i have alopecia areata which the doctor said I have an autoimmune disorder....... I have a stack of symptoms but every blood test is clear but if i have an autoimmune disorder why isn't it showing up in bloods as well as bald patches all over my head? Xxxxxx

I'm interested to hear what sorts of things you can do to prevent a high ANA level from progressing to full blown Lupus or whatever. Is there anything you can do other than giving steroids? My Dad has a high ANA level and they're thinking it might be Sjogrens but it's not advanced enough for him to be given the diagnosis yet.

I agree with this I'm so annoyed at one particular gp. she knew I had a highly positive ana and inflammation (but I wasn't symptomatic), but I am now.
Thanks a bunch! Nobody seems to care about the patterns.
I tested positive for ANA recently also my sedimentation rate was above 15 it started when my right hand kept getting inflamed I'M a train operator that's exposed to alot of brake dust
God bless you. thank you for caring....i wish you could be cloned, and fed exed to me. im in so much pain.. and i feel so alone
Im really scared i was positive for ana test bout week go losing all my hair tired everyday sick i feel terrible
Can ANA level bounce from high to normal and you still have a problem after SLE confirmation? Remission? Curious....
I have a ANA of 1:80 My doctor tested me for all the possible autoimmune diseases and I come back negative. What should he do next? Should he give me so prednisone now?

So why was me ANA tests come clear but i have alopecia areata which the doctor said I have an autoimmune disorder....... I have a stack of symptoms but every blood test is clear but if i have an autoimmune disorder why isn't it showing up in bloods as well as bald patches all over my head? Xxxxxx
what if your ANA test says detected. Does that mean positive?

how can be high ana be controlled?
