hello, didn't notice reply. had a +ANA with mild elevation of histones, nothing else. symptoms randomly associated w/ undifferentiated connective tissue disease and/or drug induced lupus but no drugs so speculated could be supplements or possible reaction to chronic health issues and stress etc.. also tested slightly + lupus anticoagulant, not yet confirmed. However crp and sed rate are normal.
