thank you for explaining test results..

[Guest guest]

I had that RF test taken jan. of 01..since then I've gotten so much

worse..I'm not taking meds yet as I hate taking medicine..but totally

understand how it helps everyone..I went to my rheumy a month back

and he said I have RA but he wasn't going to pressure me to take

pills..He said I will be alright and won't get too bad yet.as I'm in

the very early stages of it and can manage it most of the time..My

two knees are swollen but for some odd reason they don't have hardly

any pain.me ...Mostly what bothers me is my feet and hands, chronic

fatigue, stiffness all day long and muscle weakness...I also have low

thyroid so that could be cause some of my probs. too.

I heard that the antibiotic treatment can work in RA..if that is the

case when I get where I can't manage, I'll try that medicine.

My question is about the test again...because it was three years ago

since i've had it done... If I took it now could the result

different..

thank you all again for your help and I wish you all strength in

dealing with your pain.
