Similar numbers here except I have had positive ANA for about 7years; did your ANA come back negative? CCP and an Early Sjogren's Profile Panel came back positive and those, along with my symptoms led to a Polyarthritis/RA and Sjogren's diagnosis. I'm also positive for the HLA-B27 gene. You don't mention your age, but preventing further damage is key. My rheumatologist said many autoimmune tests only show positive after extensive damage and some never do at all. I'm on Hydroxychloroquine as well and the joint and back pain is better. My older sister has the same diagnosis but hers progressed before getting treatment and she just recently had to have major back surgery. Keep asking your doctor questions to understand better what his goals are. It's a positive thing that he's proactive when so many won't do anything until there's obvious damage.
