My Rheumatoid factor is negative, all other labs are borderline, but still on the normal side. Physical symptoms for RA have been present for 3 years. I feel better since taking Enbrel and Methotrexate. Is it possible that the symtoms could be related to another condition and not be RA, such as hormonal imbalances? Some women experience same type of symptoms with menopause. I am reaching, I know, but just curious. I may still be in the denial phase of accepting diagnosis.
