Mine too registered high before I had my lyme diagnosis. After many years of treatment, it is back in normal range. So my guess is that yes, there is some connection.

Get treated for Lyme and see what happens.

Absolutely. (Although I think you mean RA factor?)

I too have a RA factor that is high...I was told that I was at risk of getting it, but this is also by the rhumetologist that told me I didn't have lyme cause she was afraid to treat me.
There is no RA in my family and the arthritis they found in my knee was degenerative ....
I have always had a high RA, was sick for many years, and just diagnosed last October. I will see if it changes as I get treated..I bet it will.

My guess is that lyme has the ability to trigger autoimmune issues so I can see the correlation.

i have back pain, but most of my pain feels neurological to me. I haven't had mine tested since I started treatment. I would be curious to know if it has gone down.
