ANA are common, sometimes 5 out of 100 individuals tested. There are far fewer people who have autoimmune diseases. That means there are many, many people who have a strong positive ANA who will never go on to have an autoimmune disease. See a rheumatologist. Your primary care doctor may also recommend a neurologist, depending on your specific symptoms.
