How do you FEEL?: A positive ANA is common in young women and most never go on to have any problems. Reference ranges even for arcane stuff like Scl-70 are set so that several percent of healthies fall above. If you feel well and it's not super-elevated, I"d ignore it. The C-reactive protein business is famously nonspecific and I think it gets too much attention. Look at the big picture -- how you FEEL.

Weak positive Histone Antibody, negative ANA, elevated sed rate, elevated C-reactive protein. Elevated White blood cell. Doctor says its nothing. I believe signs point to drug induced lupus. What could this be? What causes positive Histone antibody?
