for those who are not testing positive

[Guest guest]

There is also a disease called psoriatic arthritis, and it is usually

seronegative. I am on this board because so far I don't know if I have RA or

psoriatic A. I am myself positive for Rheumatoid factor (42, same as my age),

but my toes are like sausages which is a marker for psoriatic arthritis. Try to

read up, it nearly always goes with psoriasis, a skin disease (autoimmune , like

RA) , but in 15-20 % of cases arthritis comes first , psoriasis later on.

Just thought I'd interject with this possibility. I am new to the group, BTW
