UPDATE - positive test results, but no diagnosis (m)       03/08/06 11:33 PM Edit Reply Quote lalala Reged: 02/14/05 Posts: 2634 I'm not sure if anyone is still keeping up with this...I barely am! I tested positive for the RA factor, positive for ANA, and positive for another test (the anti-CCP, I believe - I'm not sure because I didn't get a copy of the results). I saw the results and we went over the scores and what they meant, but so much was going through my mind I don't remember everything that was said. BUT, I still don't have a RA diagnosis because... Well, I think it's because the positives weren't positive enough? And because my sed rate is normal, which confused my doctor. I see the rhuemy in two weeks to go over these latest results and then he can diagnose me or decide to do more tests or take a wait-and-see approach. That's sort of how my doctor explained it. I'm so confused, but I believe I probably am in the early stages of RA. Hey, do ya think exercise will cure it? Edited by Maria! Maria! (03/08/06 11:34 PM) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
