Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 My RA titer was 86. I don't think though, that the titer actually is an indication of the severity of the disease. Is that correct and a? Since a person can have RA and be seronegative, the actual number probably is not that significant. I'm a lab tech, and whenever I'm having a bad day, I run a sed rate. (perks for working in the lab, if you consider getting blood taken a perk). Even when I've been feeling really sore, the highest my sedrate has been is about 36. Sed rates of course, are only an indication of some sort of inflammation, and are not specific to RA, but since I've seen many people who have sedrates in the 90's to 100's, I have developed great sympathy. If I " m having a flare at 36, people with those extremely elevated levels, need to be commended for being able to move at all. So my question is, how high have others sed rates been? Of course not everyone is nuts like me, and had blood drawn on a whim, but if you have results, I'm curious. Noreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
