Ana +ve since 8 yrs.recently pain in the fingers upon pressure for 1 month and once there was red line on cheeks lasted1 hr, dr said not lupus.help?

Relax.: Many healthy people have a positive ana, for unknown reasons. Some even "toggle" back and forth between positive and negative. If your doctor has ruled out lupus, relax. Your doctor should be able to run some tests to determine the cause of your finger tenderness.
