my results: ANA = positive .. 1:160, diffuse pattern; 1:40, speckled pattern
1. are abnormal ANA test results typical in CFS patients?
2. is this something that fluctuates?
ie, I tested positive in september, but had just had a bad infection so I didn't think it was necessarily a problem. however, I was just re-tested and am still getting a "positive" result so I'm a little worried... I've never had any positive AI results before and I know that this tests is not limited to AI problems so I'm worried.... maybe I'm still experiencing residual problems from last year's infections and it will normalize over the coming year?? dunno..
3. if you had positive ANA, what brought the test results back to normal? what next tests did you get?
