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 ?
