@gbny1224 Silly me! Or rather, silly both of us! Rheumatoid factor—makes sense in this autoimmune discussion! Do you have RA? I pasted a link to a study that mentions changing RA factor levels. Just read the part under ‘introduction.’

What has your doctor explained about the changing levels? Are you currently in a good place with your RA?

No I don't have ra not yet. They act all high and mighty and dont look into it because they have seen ppl with postive and not have RA. But really 146 ??? My GP and nuerologist thought that was a big deal. I told one rheumotolgist that anything over 100 u are 26 times more likely to develope RA she said that's some crazy guy in Texas saying that??? no its meta data ! I think I have autoimmune idiopathic small fiber neuropathy . Just don't know why it went down. I'm thinking it's a reaction to my titanium implant because it went down that might mean it's releasing less titanium ions ? This is not an exact science that's for sure. That's another issue the damn searches you type in something specific and u get what they think you want just because it's more common. We are all in here because we are looking for the un common. I typed rf pos to negative and get results for neg to positive. Give me back the good old days with alta vista web crawler. I saw similar studies they got it to come down just a little 10 to 20 percent or so with treatment. The say it's a poor marker for symptoms. I would agree there's not any improvement on my 50 point drop !
