Clora,

Yes, in seronegative RA, you have the signs and symptoms of RA, but

you don't produce rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti-CCP antibodies.

have every symptom. About 20% of people with RA are seronegative

symptoms and an elevated ESR but there is no rheumatoid factor in the bloods, my

dad has RA so they said for me its a foregone conclusion ill develop it so they
