ANA test results
My results are back on the NHS app with a lab comment of ‘positive,
ANA
titre = 80’ with a further
test
for serum
ANA
pattern as ‘speckled’ yet HCP comment is ‘normal, no further action required’. Does anyone have any experience or advice please? Thank you in advance.

Implications of positive if ‘weak ANA test’?
When tested I proved to have a ‘weak positive
ANA
test
’. What, if anything does that mean?

unknown rash
Blood work was done—
ANA
test
came back negative with no inflammatory markers in the blood work. However, I still have concerns for something cutaneous. Doctors don’t seem to think it’s lupus but I feel like I’m doing more work then them lately to get to bottom of this.

Is this a lupus rash
I have had a positive
ANA
test
with speckled pattern but no other test carried out afterwards. Discharged from rhumatology and now just under physiotherapy. They are looking to put me into a spinal pain clinic. My question is I've started to come out in rashes the last few months.

How long for ANA/ENA results?
She's requested (I think) an
ANA
test
and I understand from googling that if the
ANA
is positive it then gets sent for ENA testing as well? I'm not sure what the process is but it's been 2 weeks and I've still not had any results which is just driving me insane.

ANA testing
My doctor routinely checks my antibody levels and it’s always above normal so I have a high
ANA
test
. I have Graves disease so my endo doesn’t think it’s unusual but recently my ANA went up. It comes out homogeneous speckled and is normally 1:160 and now 1:320 which I guess is the next level up.

Of course it is never lupus, but the irony is, when you don’t tests positive on
ANA
- it can’t be lupus. BUT, if people
test
positive for
ANA
, you are told it can’t be lupus because people without it can test positive. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ No wonder it is almost impossible for people to be diagnosed.

Lupus questions
Good afternoon, My doctor has been helping me with some ongoing symptoms, and following a positive
ANA
test
has now referred me to a rheumatologist, theorising I may have Lupus.

ANA Negative
My gp sent me for a
ANA
blood
test
which came back negative. She has referred me for a rheumatology appointment before the results came back, but I don't want to waste the rheumatology appointment. Has anyone else been diagnosed with a negative blood test?

Newly diagnosed with PBC
I saw a note on my most recent labs, under a negative
ANA
test
, that said "possible anti-mitochondrial antibodies". And mentioned it to my PCP. He said yeah we can test for that. So indirectly I found out I had this.

unknown face rash
He also tested negative for
ANA
test
twice now. Everyone is telling me to stay calm but I just can’t. the rash started out as bright red blotches. Over the past couple of weeks the Marks dried out a little bit and started to blend and look something like this (see attached photo).

Not believed
They then looked at my bloods in a different way and said I had a positive
ANA
test
. They started hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate. Initially hydroxy helped with the hair loss, psoriasis on my scalp but it wasn’t touching my joints yet.

Lupus rash? And symptoms
I had a negative
ana
blood
test
. My face rash is now getting worse and I also have painful, swollen stiff fingers. Just after other people's experiences really and advice? I'm utterly miserable at the minute. Not been able to work, hardly leave the house.
