Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hello everyone I have a question. I saw my rheumy the other day and I kept her a long time. Question after question. I asked what my RF was. She said 13.5 Ok what is that. I read about it before. I just want to know how bad is the RA at that rate. I know it's bad by the way I felt I am just curious. If anyone knows what this is please tell me. Is it high or is it low? Which is better high or low. thanks Clora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Sue and group; Thanks so much Sue. It was 16.5 my RF number. I hit the wrong number on the keys. How do I get my lab results? I would like to have some copies of these things. gentle hugs Clora ***************************************************** > Clora, > > It depends on what the reference range is for your lab.
