Anyone out there have lupus or a mctd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many patients.: Lupus affects 1/1000 people, but the sex ratio is skewed toward women at 10:1. The prevalence of mctd, a much more mild disease is approximately the same. The most common autoimmune disease is sjogren's syndrome, affecting 1/500 people, again primarly females.

Positiveana elevated rnp, butterfly rash, muscle pain, fatigue. Could this be a false positive or likely mctd or lupus?
Is it likely that I have ANA (1:640 nucleolar, 1:320 speckled) just because my mother had lupus/MCTD and ctd's ran in her family? Should I be screened for cancer (MRIs etc.) as I read case studies of ANA+ca? No symptoms of any disease, blood etc. ok.
