Subject: ANIT CCP > 500 but no pain
Hello. I was just diagnosed with RA. all my numbers look normal except my CCP Antibody IgG is > 500 (where they same normal range is < 16). my arthritis pain is VERY low. when I get a cold it get a small flare up but other than that, I am able to play racquetball for a least 2 hours 6 days a week and can do regular activities (job, wife, kids, evening school, etc..). My doctor just told me that I have a 90% chance of my RA coming to serious pain in 8 to 14 years and he is wanting to start me on 400 mg of plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) and methotrexate (2.5 mg) four tablets a week. is anyone else doing regimine like this? Do you all know of other sites for people with my similar issues??
