I just got my blood work back today and my Rheumatoid Factor was 196, which I understand is pretty high, and I am really scared. I had just started to get my fibro under control and then the rain started and my hands and feet swelled and I cried for two days before I got into see a doctor who did blood work, so now I have to wait another month to get into see a Rheumatologist, which scares me to death. I guess it is really hard for me cause I saw my mother suffer for years with RA and vasicular problems. She took the gold shots which caused liver damage and she ended up dying of Liver sero. Please tell me that just cause my RF was 196 that I could have something elseView Thread
