Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I am also sero-negative. My blood tests indicate inflammation, but my RA factor is negative.

The wrist knot sounds like it can be a nodule. a On Sep 6, 2006, at 12:57 AM, dordale8 wrote: > > > > > Hello Everyone, > > > > My name is Carol and I am also learning a great deal and have only > > been here a short time.
