Hi:

I am really frustrated. My labs keep coming back normal and I have been give meds for Rheumatoid...
Vioxx, Prednisone, Plaquenil. This is soooo frustrating to me! My rhuematologist said that 20% of people
with RA have normal test results, she says I am probably one of those 20%.
I am really annoyed and exasperated by this. The only clue, lab wise, was that my RF factor was
elevated twice in three years-- all results were normal since.

Has anyone else had normal test results and had RA?

I appreciate any answers that you can provide.

Have a good day!

Ellen
