Before I started treating for Lyme I was ANA positive and had a SCL-70 equal to someone with scleraderma. Then i went to holistic doc and getting towards the end of treatment so I asked my primary doc if I could have the bloodwork redone. They said yes. I went yesterday and can't wait to see the results.

Let us know what the results are, I hope it's all good news.

I looked through my old records and found that I had an ANA test back in February that was negative. I found an LLMD and began abx therapy in May. A few weeks ago my PCP did a blood draw and my ANA came back + 1:80 with a nucleolar pattern. Fa REAKED me out.
I just saw my LLMD yesterday and he says not to worry about it. Lyme can cause + ANA (no matter what the pattern, he says) and abx therapy can cause it to appear. Made me feel better...so I wanted to throw that out there for ya.
