Hi phyl,
I replied to this question on the Medical Questions board.
-------------------- The fibromyalgia I've had for 32 years was an undiagnosed Lyme symptom.

This is high but not so horrible, I live with about 1,300 since long time. You have some kind of infection from viruses or bacteria or parasites. Did you try longterm doxy, some people feel better on it.

If you are interested, Linda Rector Page, ND has a page of bullet points (lots of info on one page) about naturopathic help for lupus in her book Healthy Healing. This is a reference book in healthfood stores (most of them, anyway) across the nation.

My ana was elevated too. Before I found the lyme doc, my rheumy insisted that I had early stage Lupus because of the ana level. Lyme doc didn't twice about it.
