Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You have ANA positive with speckled pattern. You may have SLE, Drug induced lupus, Mixed connective tissue disease or evolving rheumatic arthritis. You should go for complete ANA profile. Treatment of most of the autoimmune disease is steroid. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
