I am not positive but I believe that normal is 20, or at least thats what I have read on other forum pages....so I would say thats really high. Maybe someone else who knows better will be more accurate with a respose for you.

Yes it is true normal is 20. I've heard of even higher numbers too. I know a lot of people who are sero-negative (negative for RF) who suffer greatly.

Rveryone is different- don't worry too much about your number- make a list of questions you have and give it to your rheumatologist next visit. I found that to be very helpful in the first stages of diagnosis. I wish you all the best.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Weary :: you are most definitely NOT alone :)

You are not alone we are here. We hear you and will be there when you need us. I don't know much about the levels. Mine is just slightly raised but my other test show I have a lot of deterioration, so whatever that means. Well it means new meds and more appts.
Just hang in there and vent whenever you need. Good Luck. Heather
