Hello,

I have been having chronic pain for over a year, along with wide spread pain i also have waves of lightheartedness, blurred vision, and brain fog. I was refereed rheumatologist for this coming June and he set up some blood work. my blood work showed slight Vitamin D deficiency and most importantly Elevated Nuclear Ab Titre and Pattern of 1:80.. I'm not exactly sure what that means but google is making it look like that indicated Lupus? can someone help me out with this please... i dont really want to wait till June for answers 😦

    I would definitely explore the possibility of Lupus, however, I was told when mine came back 1:80 , by a rheumatologist that they do not consider those numbers a positive reading for Lupus. Even though I was wanting answers and her answer did not help, she was right I did not have Lupus. I ended up having CIRS, which can lower your vit D, cause a positive ANA(as it is pretty much an autoimmune illness), cause thyroid problems, mast cell, etc. Hope you find answers. Best of Luck.
