ANA fluctuating all over the board

In July of 2024 I had a positive ANA of 1:320 nucleolar pattern. I had an AVISE panel done, which was negative for any autoimmune antibodies. At the time, I also had a ferritin level of 10 which my doctor thought could be causing the headaches, joint pain, fatigue, and heart palps.

My ANA has been monitored, it has fluctuated all over the place even going back to negative. In June of this year, I saw a rhematologist and got the work up again. Everything came back negative. She said she was stumped.

Celiac disease, crohns disease, thyroid disorders and psoriasis run in the family. I do get psoriasis on my head, and I hate to admit this but also in the bum crack. So embarrassing. My father has extreme psoriasis all over his body. I have literally had every test in the books. I did find out yesterday I am allergic to potatoes (damnit)...so obviously thats going to cause an immune response in my body but other then that who knows!

ECDS limited scleroderma on the forehead possible??

Two years ago I went to the doctor for headaches, fatigue, joint pain, amongst other things. My ANA came back positive at 1:320, she ran an Avise panel and all autoantibodies were negative.

Over the last few years my ANA titer has been all over the place. I came across an old picture of myself, and realized this indent in my forehead, that’s slightly dark shade. Never thought much of it, I feel like it’s more prominent in the heat though. I flipped through old photos and have realized it’s gotten longer and looks as if it’s gotten deep over the last few years. I have had head pressure, head pain, and a feeling of a dried face mask (thick feeling) over my face for the last year or so. Could ECDS be the cause of the head issues!?
