Has anyone ever had an elevated ANA. I have had many many years of antibiotics and have never fully recovered and now take medications to treat the symptoms I am left with, which are mainly fatigue, joint pain and headaches. I recently had an infectious disease MD run some tests and I have an ANA of 1:160 which he says is not idicative of any other disease but same diagnosis of Chronic Lyme Syndrome. Thanks for your help.

Mine was through the roof. It was very high. From what I understand it's just an indicator that you have some type of auto immune disease but doesn't mean anything towards which one. I believe it's gone down with meds even though my symptoms have not changed.
