Just curious to know what your ANA levels are now or were when being diagnosed. Have they changed throughout the years?

They said the same thing about mono to me! I don't buy it either. I started out at an ANA of 1:160 homogeneous and a few months later tested 1:320 homogeneous with nothing else being positive and CBC's all coming back normal. Am being tested again tomorrow morning. My first test was taken in October of 2018 and by January of 2019 it had gone up a dilution along with worsening symptoms.

Previous three years all negative then Positive ANA homogeneous and positive ANTI DNA DS. Second test a month later showed positive ANA homogeneous-low and negative ANTI DNA DS. Rheumatologist's Physician's assistant told me it was not lupus but probably mono. I am not convinced.

Negative that is why they couldn't diagnose me, I have low white joint pain so they ended up doing the Bone Marrow it came back in the T- Cells that is how they found it. Now my doctor really doesn't t do ANA test they are really a waist she does the Anti Analyzer which explodes into many test . This is what they should us, it give you the complements and other test that show lupus.

Negative! I tested positive for Bc4D and Ec4D on the avise test. Dsdna was also negative. But since diagnosis, everytime I have bloodwork, both are climbing.
