So if you have a positive ANA that automatically says you have lupus? Im so confused.
I had some testing done. And I cant get a call back from my doctors office at all. Ive googled everything every result but I don't understand medical terms like the huge words sometimea. My ANA was postive. My ANA Titer is 1:160. My ANA Pattern was abnormal. Nuclear and speckled. I have no idea what this means. Can someone please help me understabd.

Hi @melissaeckert2018 A positive ANA doesn’t mean you have lupus. It means you may have a autoimmune disease. There are many. I think your titer is very low/possible a negative ANA. I think positive is a little higher. I could be wrong. Can you call your doctor and ask for an explanation of results. What are your symptoms? There are many factors in diagnosing a autoimmune disease. Don’t stress:)
