Thanks for sharing your story of self help and determination.
I wonder if meds played some role in down-regulating the ANAs.
Were you ever on a TNF blocker or steroids. You have had a very thorough
workup and results are encouraging. We can do a lot for our inflammation
with diet and lifestyle changes. You might be onto something with the
diffuse fine speckled antibodies being protective or even a positive prognostic sign. There is not a lot of known about what they mean. Your care plan has
likely reduced your IL-6 and TNF. Have you been on statins for your systemic
inflammation?

I haven't been on any medications, but I have followed an anti-inflammatory diet along with an extensive supplement regimen.

Sorry to ask such a stupid question."what is DFS70? “ I have never had blood work with that type of test examined . I also never heard that statins are helpful for inflammation. ( though I do take a fairly high dose of rosuvastatin”
