Tested Negative for Lupus and ANA Test Results Posted: 02-04-06 17:00pm
Just curious about my ANA results. They
are in low titers, 1:80, but I do have
pains in my joints. No real BIG symptoms
though. I was tested for lupus just
incase, and that was negative. I have had
quite a few experiences with my body going
numb and tingly(legs,arms..) Is there
anything I should really be worried about?
I also had cervical dysplasia, can ANAs
affect this? And, can ANAs affect a
pregnancy?

It does not appear that you have lupus.
The symptoms you describe (pain in joints,
numbness and tingle) could mean anything
or…nothing at all. You might bring more
attention to the cervical displasia,
however. If it is a second or third grade
diagnosis, it should be taken very
seriously! ANAs do not affect dysplasia or
a pregnancy but possible a HPV-infection
will. You can request a HPV-serology to
identify a possible infection.
