Well my ANA is down....from 1:640 to 1:160. Pretty signifigant to me.

I am feeling good about things, my Dr said No, I do not have lupus,

not now at least. He said he can really only say it is some type of

mixed connective tissue disease. I am doing ok, still achey,

etc.....I am giving it all time. All my labs are good, so that is a

really good thing, maybe in a year or so the ANA will be normal.

Thanks everyone,

That is great that your ANA came down! I am sure that over time it will

continue to improve. Please keep us up to date. I am curious if these

autoimmune markers can go up and down at all. I am hoping that once they are

on their way down, they stay down and it is a sign of continued healing. As

you know, mine has gone down, but I rarely get it tested, so I have not been

able to see if it has fluctuated much at all.

I am optimistic that it will stay down and in a healing mode. I can't wait

for the day when it reads normal again. Now, if only my head would clear up

and I never get this damnable brain fog again.... : )
