I am living with hep c 25 years, Is it possible to have false positive RA sed rate I think thats the test that is done. I myself am riddled with osteo arthritis. and osteo porosis. I have notice that my pinky finger on my left hand, at end of the finger is bent, and does not straighten at all. To me it looks like a RA symtom think i mispelled that word sorry. I queston the negative result for ra. due to the fact that at age 5 i was hospitalized for 6 months with Rheumatic fever. and now am living with Hep c over twenty years. I have also degenerative disk disease Diagnosed in 2000. The pain is incessant. I also have Fibromyalgiaa, and am on Lyrica. I'm concerned that my ra test was a false negative. My younger sister was diagnosed with ra as a child and is now crippled pretty bad.and she doesn't have Hep c.
