A member asked:
Lupus ana homogenous 1:649, speckled 1:120. chronic flares pain. mainly chest region. pain disturbs function daily! could this be lupus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Positive ANA: above 1:16 is considered a true positive. With an ANA that high it certainly suggests a connective tissue disease, make an appointment with rheumatology as soon as possible as it could be lupus
