Default Specific Nucleolar Pattern ANA and raised C3 - what autoimmune type of NLD SFN?

I have to wait until the 19th to get the results of my lip biopsy - looking for Sjogren's as a cause of my very widespread small fibre neuropathy. In a quest for more info about the pattern of my newly positive ANA I asked my GP yesterday to tell me what it was. She said that it was neither homogeneous moe speckled (as Enbloc and Kiwi both asked) but has a nucleolar pattern only with raised levels of compliment. Can anyone tell me what this might indicate and explain how this might relate to my SFN if it turns out not to be Sjogren's?
