Spriggy I know this is late. But I just found you. I have an elevated ANA. In my case it was probably due to the lyme's disease. I have been tested for lupus and a few other of the autoimmune diseases and the tests were negative. Now it's still elevated but way down. When lyme's was active it was l880 or there abouts. Now it's l:l20. Inderol can cause a false positive. I know because my sister took inderal and she had a high ANA. She stopped it but her ANA is still high. She says she has lupus but doesn't take any meds for it. I think I am one of the people who just have an elevated ANA. A rheumatologist told me that he thought I had a mixed bag of autoimmune diseases. I choose to ignore him. Fondly, Phillipa
