What did he mean he ruled it out with blood tests? I wasn't positive for RA factor for 7 years. The only other blood results might be Sed rate and other markers for inflammation. But those are common to both RA and PMR. Well time will tell. What drug is he giving you?

I am not to familiar with diagnosing RA. When I had my initial blood work done after self diagnosing myself. Rhumy pulled . ESR , CRP, HS-CRP, RA, and CCP(IgA,IgG). My tests were all negative so ruled out RA. Would that be a fair assessment.
