| well, I'm looking at the copy of the blood test (done at LabCorp)
right now and it says the normal ANA Direct range is 1--100, equivocal
is 100-120, and over 120 is positive. Mine is 26 so I figured it was
negative.
Is the system universal or does it vary from country to county? I'm in
the US.

Looks to me that your ANA is negative

Different lab/test.
Maybe KC can make sense of this

I don't understand it.
Perhaps now you can forget about having Lupus and lab tests.
Get your dental and nervous disorders sorted out?
I see you on another newsgroup saying that you do have joint pains.
Maybe you're got a bad thrush infection. Has someone scraped your tongue
and sent the sample to the lab?
Some of the causes of thrush are mentioned here

Maybe if you tell your doctor exactly what happened last September that
triggered this whole thing, (s)he could make sense of what's going on?
