When you are diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis what that means is that you have an immunoglobulin antibody in your blood. The longer that you have had this ailment the more likely it will be that the doctors will find this antibody in your blood. So people who have children's arthritis, however they got it, have an increased chance of getting rheumatoid arthritis. Also, people over the age of sixty five have an increased chance of having this antibody in their system.

There are a couple differences between the groups that test positive and negative for this antibody. The people who test negative are less likely to have sever joint erosion and they are also less likely to develop nodules under the skin. The people who test negative for the immunoglobulin antibody will still experience joint pain, swelling, inflammation, and stiffness, so it is not much of a consolation but it is still better than knowing your joints will deteriorate.

If you are in the positive group there is still hope. You just have to check out all your options and find out as much as possible about the origin of your disease and then you can begin to cure it.
