A member asked:

Could fibromalagia cause ana positive? 1:640 speckled and sed rate elevated? lupus panel negative

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: The ANA is there because of some other reason. Because it's there does not mean you have lupus. There are many other reasons to have a positive ana. Your evaluation by your physician can clarify.
