Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi Keys: Welcome to the group! The people here are caring and supportive, and and a, our hard-working moderators, keep us supplied with information. I know how you must worry with the thought that you might have RA, after watching your mother suffer for so many years. Yes, you can have seronegative RA, which is where the RA factor is negative. However, your symptoms might be indicative of something else, or simply osteoarthritis which is wear and tear on your joints. Do you work with your hands or upper arms a lot? Stay in touch, and let us know if any other symptoms crop up - good luck - and I'll be praying that you don't have RA - Kathe in CA Kathe " To ride a horse is to borrow freedom.
