Hi there! I have Hashimoto’s + hypothyroidism. I had a full ANA panel done. My ANA screen was positive. Anti-Chromatin antibodies were positive and Anti-Ribosome antibodies were positive. But the DSDNA was negative. The lab results said consider lupus or mixed connective tissue disorder. I have no symptoms of either but I’m very worried about it. I’ve read those anti bodies are specific to lupus but is it possible they are positive for another reason? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
