I had a really high RF over 100. I don't remember the exact number. My doctor was convinced I had RA, however it was the HCV. I am going for my blood work at the end of this week, 12 weeks post treatment, and I will let you know if it's gone. I was thinking about the RF factor myself lately.
My rheumy did a blood test to see if my RA was caused from the hcv.She said she couldn't tell because of the results.I know theres a test.Ask your rhuemy about it.Good luck.

Hi Bobby,
I'm learning off you (again!!!) as I thought RF was either positive or negative and didn't give a 'reading' as such. I know mine was okay, despite have tennis elbos and an inflammed wrist pre-tx (simply disappeared once I started tx).
Are you starting to feel GREAT?? I certainly hope so. And perhaps you can enlighten me also on "ANA"? Thanks
