When do you get the results of your Anti CCP test?
I've been thinking about you.

Hugs!

I think she said she won't get her results till Tuesday.  And I think it's about 4AM Tuesday there, so hopefully, we'll know soon.Thanks for asking how I'm doing - that I was a gonner last night but haning in.  Staci, did you decide about the CCP test? Will I sound dumb if I ask what a CCP test is? Not at all, it's all these darned acronyms! CCP tests for Cyclic
Citrullinated Peptide Antibody. It comes up positive for about 80% (I think!)
of people with RA. The only reason I know is because I just had one 'coz I'm
seronegative. I'm also anti-CCP negative, I'm just a mystery [QUOTE=julie] Thanks for asking how I'm doing - that I was a gonner last night but haning in.  Staci, did you decide about the CCP test?

No problem Julie...we were all worried about you girl! Are you feeling any better? You should be getting your results today right? I am getting the test, but I already started the Sulfasalazine, and I don't know if that will affect the results of the test...I'm going for it anyway. Please keep us updated, and remember...YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS!! Sometimes a cyber-hug is better because we can squeeze you real hard and it WON'T HURT, so here's a BIG one...

Thanks for the info! I am still learning all of this stuff! When I was taking care of my Mom with RA, she was first diagnosed over 33 years ago so they didn't really do these tests on her.

Just to let you guys know that I have had a PM from Julie. I have given her my email address if she needs to contact me. Hopefully, I can help her a little.
