Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Hi, I am 37 years old and was dxed with RA at the age of 30. A few years ago I was retested for RA and the doctors told me my rheumatoid factor was negative. However, I was still having the joint pain. Since the test was negative they came up with the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Two weeks ago I was retested again at a different medical facility and the rheumatoid factor was positive once again. All during these seven years my Sedimentation rate has been elevated. Does anyone know of this happening where you will have a normal RH factor then an abnormal one. It seems I stay in pain and am having problems sleeping. I toss and turn all night while in pain. If anyone can make any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks for listening and I am glad to be a part of your group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
