blood result back

valval

hi had to have a blood test last week for something that has same aches and swelling as arther with inflimation moving around joints. it came back negative so it is arther, is that good news or bad. do not know but do feel happy about it as for some reason the thought of it had me more scared than arther think this is because of all the help i get on here to keep my head straight thanks every one rhumey next but not till next month.

I reckon Val it was to test for rheumatoid arthritis maybe? That's one of the inflamatory ones.
Your rheumy will be able to explain it properly to you when you see him or her.
As you probably know there are 100s of diferent types of arthritis and people with any types are very welcome here
Hope you are doing ok?

Hi, Well, if its negative thats good, it means the didn't find RF factor that poeple with RA usually have. Are you having any other tests or sometimes they do another blood test. Anyway, I'm glad you'r pleased! Love Sue
