My Autoimmune Journey: From 1:5120 to 1:320 ANA

Hi your post is from a year ago - I hope you get this and can give me some advice. I started having joint and muscle pain maybe over 7 years ago then my doctor ordered an ANA test and came back with 1:80. Went to see a Rheumatologist but he ruled out RA. My last ANA result (a month ago) is 1:320 homogeneous. What does it mean? Do I have autoimmune?? I do feel tired all the time and my muscle and joint pain seem to get worse. I am changing my diet as well as walking 3 miles each morning. Glad I found your post and will try some of the things you’re doing and hopefully will improve my ANA numbers. Thank you and any other recommendations/advice would be greatly appreciated.

High ANA Titer is usually associated with autoimmune disease. Your numbers are still low, and this may be an early sign. I was diagnosed with scleroderma 3.5 years ago with ANA Titer 1:2560. At that time, I had fatigue, joint stiffness, and started developing skin thickening over hands first, and then multiple areas of the body. I have tried multiple medications with limited success. Although, for some conditions, medications still may be needed. Anti-inflammatory diet seems like a good option to stay healthier.
