Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Clora, It depends on what the reference range is for your lab. When my original blood work was done, my RF was 170. The normal, or Reference Range was < 20. If your lab's reference range is pretty much the same as mine was, that would mean that your RF is now in the normal range. (Low is better than high.) That's good news, and would be an indication that the Humira is doing its job. I always ask them to send me a copy of my lab results, and then I can see for myself and satisfy my curiosity.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Just call your doctor's office and tell them to mail you the results. They are obligated to do so. When I go to the lab and they take my blood, I just ask them to send me a copy of the results, and they always do. Sue On Saturday, December 6, 2008, at 07:58 PM, CLORA wrote: > > Thanks so much Sue.
