ANA panels
My ANA was high...1/400...I have peripheral neuropathy due to what we don't know. I've had 5 surgeries in 10 months. Last one in Oct. 2010. Trama may play in here. What is normal ANA panels??
Nikodicreta is right, there are other things that can result in a positive ANA. And in low readings, it can mean nothing at all.
Hey Cheryll.
Welcome to the forum.
I'm truly sorry to hear about all your suffering.
5 surgeries in 10 months! How did this happen?
Do the surgeons not care at all about the consequences?
Or was it so critical and life threatening each time? For some reason I doubt it.
One's body - specially when suffering from neuropathy and other undiagnosed conditions-
needs adequate time to recover and heal.
What happened to the rule "do no harm"?
ANA test results are only suggestive and inconclusive in most cases. Further subset testing would be required to "potentially" arrive to a diagnosis, with a good degree of certainty.
Your ANA testing went like this: 1:50 positive, 1:100 positive, 1:200 positive, 1:400 positive, 1:800 negative. Therefore the result is the last one before a negative. In older patients the higher fractions are not as significant.
Usually the first one -1:40 positive or, 1:50 positive- is considered negative (even if it's indicated positive).
Please post at the alternative therapies ( in this forum) or message me directly,
should you want some suggestions. Please include brief medical history, diet, types of operations, and past traumas (physical or emotional).
Blessings,
Nikodicreta

Yes, I have no appetite. I took myself off the vicodin on Monday...5-2-11. I hurt so much, but I read that vicodin can kill your appetite. I have had 5 surgeries in 15 months. Cut from my waist to my knee on my right side. I was dropped in the hospital, and they shattered my hip, femeral neck, and whatever else is in there.
Thanks for the ANA info. i guess I'm coming back positive.
