Blood test advice

Hello! Thank you for reading my post! I need some advice. I have been experiencing joint pain in my ankles, wrists, hands, and pain in my legs. I tested positive on the ANA test and now I am trying to understand my titer numbers if anyone can help? 1.80 for speckled and 1:320 for homogenous. What does this mean? Thank you to anyone who can help

    Thank you for sharing your experience! I am sorry you are experiencing such comprehensive pain, hopefully, this recent blood test will help your doctors help you find the right treatment for you! Here is an article I found about interpreting ANA blood test results. https://www.healthline.com/health/antinuclear-antibody-panel#results. Hopefully this helps!

    1. I hope you get some relief. I have sat down with my doctor to have him explain what it all means. There is a great article that posted that is very helpful. It can be so confusing but work with your doctor to get some real time info to help determine exactly what those numbers mean for you as it can vary from person to person. ~Racquel~ lupus.net Team Member
