Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - Introduce yourself and meet others
Let's talk about living with rheumatoid arthritis.
As moderator of the Autoimmune Diseases group, I noticed that several people were talking about RA, but those conversations were scattered throughout the community. I thought I would start this discussion to bring us all together in one place.
Let’s grab a cup of tea, or beverage of choice, and let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

Why do we think sero negative RA differs from sero positive in a meaningful way?
I’m new to this world, and finding it quite difficult to understand-I was surprised to learn gout is arthritis after watching Apple+’s series Franklin:). Everything’s arthritis! I tried to research the worlds of positive and negative, but I didn’t gain an answer of my question: “So what?” Maybe someone qualified can enlighten us. It seems it might govern a different diagnosis/treatment regimen between the two? Are + and - tested differently, then treated differently? Who knows?
