Have you seen a Rheumatologist?  The ANA at 1:320 is probably something they are not too concerned with right now.  I have been told by several Dr.'s they really don't worry about it unless it is quite a bit higher than that...usually 1:1280....that is when they usually start worrying about things like Lupus, etc.   Have you seen a Neurologist that is a Movement Specialist?? If not, then that is where I might start.
