Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi everyone, I got a phone call a little while ago from my doctor's office to inform me that they had my labs back and she wanted to talk to me about it. My cholesterol was high...knew that it would be. She suggested I get more exercise and walk 20 minutse a day....if only I could. SED rate is 59. Tested negative for Lyme and Lupus. I asked about the RA Factor and she said it was " high " ...I asked if that meant positive and she said yes. I thought it was like a pregnency test...either negative or positive. I didn't know there were numbers associated with it. Do any of you know about a number associated with this? Also, they are going to put me on Pred. It's a 5 month thing...this month 20 mil, 15 next month, 10 and then 5 and after 5 months of taking that daily I am supposed to call them. I'm not a rocket scientist but this isn't slowing my RA in any way. It's just helping with inflamation. They aren't ordering x-rays or a bone scan....?? Don't I need a base line here? Every couple of days I'm less to do what I was able to do a short time ago...how are they going to regular this and measure it?? Is it me or does this sound about right to any of you??? Take good care, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
