Does a high ANA (1:2560-1:640)with symptoms mean lupus? Is a high ANA also possible with fibromyalgia?
My ANA is from 1:2560 to 1:640. I have many symptoms of Lupus, but not all. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but it seems more like Lupus. All other bloodwork has been normal.

1. Maybe you should get a second opinion? My grandma was diagnosed with Lupus but then when she went to two other doctors they told her that she didn't have enough of the symptoms and my Dad is in remission from Lupus but they thought he had a lot of other things before they realized that's what it was. It seems like one of those diseases that can look like a lot of other things or other things can look like it. So maybe go to another doctor and see what they think.2. I have an antibody for Lupus. There is no bloodwork that can say if you have fibro.... 13 years of that dx for me. I have MS and I carry the antibody of antiphospholid antibody syndrome.
There are many auto immune disorders that can cause a high ANA test, there is also the possibility of a false positive reaction... Check this site out and please talk with your doctor, there are so many diseases that mimic one another and getting a correct diagnosis is extremely important.. Take care of yourself
3. i know fibromyalgia and lupus are in the same fam. but there is no blood test can tell you if you have fibromyalgia. you to go see a doc, to find out if you have it.
