Hi everyone,

So I went back to the rheumatologist today, and he confirmed that I possibly have rheumatoid arthritis on top of the fibro, but I do not have lupus.  So I guess, good and bad news...I have to go get more bloodwork done again because my rheumatoid factor is 27....a little high, but not extremely so he wants to do an anti-CCP blood test (to confirm RA or not).  Other than that, I'm vitamin D deficient.  No surprise there as I see that seems to be a pretty common trait here!

Hope everyone is having a pain-free day!

Well, Krista, I'm glad the lupus was ruled out. One thing at a time, eh?

Krista, I'm also glad that you don't have lupus...if the RA is confirmed, you will
deal with it as you do fibro...one day at a time:)

Hugs, Robin

HI Krista,
I too have fibro and RA... although, my RA has since gone away.

Can anyone tell me, If your RA goes away...Does that mean it will stay away or come back?? Please, I hope someone out there can come up with the answer on that.... or someone can relate to it!!!

I am going to post a new thread in hopes that someone out there post back to me.

Thanks, and Krista i hope yours goes away as mine did. Laura :)
