A member asked:

Have neurological symptoms (numbness on one side, vision issues, brain fog). what neurological disorders give a speckled positive ana test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Anas alone are not diagnostic of a disease process. Also up 30% of patients can have a positive ANA and the vast majority do have a autoimmune disease that goes with an ana. I think it is best if you having visual and neurological problems you do want to see both an opthalmologist and a neurologist to rule conditions such as ms.
