Yes, I had a negative anti-CCP but a high RA factor.. From what I was told by my doctor is that you have to look at the hole picture with this not just one blood test.. He has some people that test negative with the RA factor but they still have Ra. Then 6 months later it shows in the blood. Just Like Lupus, it is hard to pin point that as well and these are sister diseases. Always if you are not happy with your doctor go to another. Hang in there, they will get it right it just takes time.
