Rheumatoid Blood Type ?
10/26/09
Blood Type - Rheumatoid Arthritis. Just wondering I have Heredityar Rheumatoid and my blood type is A Rh (D) positive.
How many others with rheumatoid share the same blood type ?
Let me know also if your are Hereditary or not. What caused your rheumatoid ? Bout of flue or pneumonia, tick bite, gladular fever, chemical exposure ?

This was new to me, I just looked it up, then realized you did translate: "D" = Rh (Rhesus) factor! I'm O positive. No correlation there!
I didn't realize you'd already entered this question and now I have too - oh well!

No you are right theres no correlation between us in blood types. I just wonder though about some of these types of questions no one else seems to ask.
I think the Hereditary or not is a BIG question we need answers to and if not Hereditary what caused you RA do you think. One girl has replied - hers was not hereditary and believed it was chemicals used in spraying as she worked in a nursery for 7 yrs. Flu, Glandular feer, pneumonia, all sorts of chemicals, tick bite, printing ink are the many I've hear d mentioned over the years.
How can we get this as question of the week ?
