A positive ANA simply means that you should be checked out by a rheumatologist. The Dr will check a number of other things and ask abut any symptoms you may be having. An ANA may indicate any number of auto-immune diseases, such as Lupus, or it may be nothing.
Check out my link below, diagnosing lupus, as these are the kinds of symptoms the Dr may ask about.
Meanwhile, stay calm and carry on. Make a rheumy appointment then put it out of your mind till the appt.
PS. One way to find a good rheumy is to check out [utl]www.lupus.org and find the local chapter. Then talk to the local chapter to find out what rheumies in your area are active in the group -- those are the Drs you want to choose from.
Let us know how it goes.
