Ana went from 640:1 for several year to negative in 1 month (retested twice after). since then my main symptoms changed. related or coincidence?

See details: The level of ANA positivity does not correlate with disease activity. However when the ANA remains negative it usually means disease activity is low or even absent. Since you do not describe past or current symptoms it is impossible to offer a specific answer.
