See below: Just because you have a +ana, you may not have any autoimmune processes that are causing problems. Scleroderma is rather uncommon, but it is autoimmune in nature. A rheumatologist specializes in these types of disorders. There are countless tests that can be done to determine, what, if any, autoimmune conditions you have and treatment can be started thereafter.

Symptoms: Doesn't sound like scleroderma, talk to your doctor for his/her interpretation of what's going on.

Unlikely: Without skin problems and raynaud's, scleroderma is not very likely. Also might need more testing beyond just ana... ANA is only the screening test.
