Have you considered discussing the results with your PCP? i would think you would likely get a more reliable explanation from a physician who knows you. Or how about calling the physician who ordered the tests? All the best

@elisabeth007 I guess I feel at a disadvantage because my PCP is out on leave for 9 more months and I don't know the "replacement" who ordered the tests. When he phoned with the results, he simply said auto immune is indicated and that I need to see a Rheumatologist. While I can't say I 'm surprised, my earlier experiences are that "everyday" docs tend to describe auto immune topics in unspecific terms.
