My daughter started last October 2013 with neck pain, back pain and headaches. We went to the doctor and she ruled out Meningitis, but she was unable to determine the cause of her pains. The doctor ordered multiple blood tests and in the results there was Raised antibody titer ANA 1
Hello Mrs. Reinhart, I understand you and your daughter are going through a difficult time. This seems like an autoimmune condition. And I recommend you take her to a Rheumatologist when she turns 18. ANA title is very sensitive. According to the history you have given it seems like Lupus. To confirm lupus, I recommend an Anti-Sm title. The treatment is usually steroids during these acute attacks and will taper it off slowly. Hope this helps!
