That's it. That's my question.

I'll have to check my husband's labs from a couple of years back. There are people here who have autoimmune expression of their Lyme disease.

Another place to check out is www.roadback.org. It's a site dedicated to the treatment of autoimmune disease with antibiotics. Lots of people over there who have treated rheumatoid arthritis successfully with antibiotics.

Thanks. Just wondering if the body fighting off Lyme naturally raises the RF causing more confusion and ending up with lots of arthritis diagnosis's.

I think I'll post this under medical too.

I have had an elevated RF from lyme disease, I do not have rheumatoid arthritis. I have heard that you can have an elevated RF, as well as positive ANA with other things, inflammation one of them.

I had a positive ANA at one time. Normal after Lyme treatment.
