I had a ana test done because I had some problems in my legs where they turn blotchy and my toes go numb sometimes from the cold. The Doctor wasn't very concerned, but suggested I take this test anyway, since sometimes it is associated with Lupus. My test came back positive, but I have no other symptoms. She said I had moderate levels (whatever that means) but didn't seem concerned about doing follow up tests since I have no symptoms. How likely is it that I have an autoimmune disease or lupus? I feel healthy and look fine otherwise. Am I worrying over nothing?
