Hmmm. Hope for clarity soon. Thanks for taking time to respond.
Thanks. Appreciate response
What other symptoms do (did) you have? And what medicines are you on?
I have Systemic Lupus and my ANA test was always at l: 1280 for years and years- that was how my Rheumatologist diagnosed my illness.
Hi there. I didn't want your post to go unanswered. I was hoping Dr. Mathur would answer this. HLA b-27 is often found in people with anklyosing spondylitis, but not everyone who has that has AS. Sometimes people have that, but no symptoms. Although, I'm sure your rheumatologist will give you a thorough looking over and order more test. Be sure and keep a journal on symptoms. Even if you think they aren't important. Also keep track of your activity. Like I was in the sun this day, but had a rash this day. (stuff like that)
