A member asked:
Looking for help. losing vision and hair. tests negative for ms & ra. ana test positive homogenous. ana titer 1:80h. is that lupus? no symptoms/pain

ANA: Your ANA is nondiagnostic. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can determine whether your hair loss is temporary or permanent and can order appropriate tests. If no medical issue found, see a skilled beautician who should be able to instruct you on proper hair care. An ophthalmologist should evaluate your visual status and symptoms.
