C-reactive protein is a nonspecific reactant used to diagnose bacterial infectious diseases and inflammatory disorders. A positive ANA is also a test used to confirm systemic inflammation. If your own physician cannot find a cause, you would need to see a specialist such as a rheumatologist.  These people specialize in many inflammatory disorders such as Rheumatoid arthritis, and Lupus. The jerking movements could be related neurologically but it also may be the result of the inflammation. Best to check with a specialist.
