Should I be concerned about my high ANA titer?
I am not diagnosed with anything, but doctor has ordered blood work to figure out why I have had fatigue, mouth sores, headaches, swollen lymph nodes and a rash on my neck. WBC was 4.3 Positive ANA, with a mixed pattern (640 homogenous and 2560 centromere). All the other blood tests which follow a positive

Moving On To Another Trial
After a year on weekly Humira injections; I’m switching to Cimzia. Additionally, I inject MTX once a week and take 5 mgs of prednisone. I have 3 types of arthritis: RA, PsA and OA. It is a delayed diagnosis due to a misdiagnosis by a rheumatologist 3 years ago. I also have neurological factors to consider

Positive ANA/negative ENA update!
I had a positive ANA test and was referred for an ENA panel. It has come back negative, as well as C3 and C4 being negative too. I’m feeling as bad as ever. Does anyone know what this means or does not mean? I can’t find too much specific information online. UPDATE - Saw rheumatologist today and he

Blood Test Today - Advice needed
Morning Everyone, I have another blood test today and wanted to ask if anyone has some advice for my next steps. This will be the 4th blood test to see in positive ANA are present but I think they are going to check inflammation levels too - is it okay to ask the nurse what she is testing for? I figured
