Has any ever had a positive ana blood test, what do i need to expect. I dont have any sign of a disease



lizzie287 - 88 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have. ANA is an antibody found in the bodies of people with auto-immune diseases, such as lupus. Lupus doesn't always show symptoms, it can go into remission. It could also be early on in your disease. Did you doctor give you any information? I have been seeing rheumatologists for 8 years for the same thing. They are as of yet undecided whether I have lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. It's confusing because symptomatically it seems like lupus, but my family history suggests RA. Good luck, it's a tough road that can take a long time to diagnose, and if you're not having any symptoms, enjoy this time but BE PREPARED. Lupus especially can manifest itself in thousands of different ways.
