I am having blood work done on Tuesday which will check for RA and other things. I went to a wellness Dr. Who wanted me tested for RA and antiammune diseases. I am hoping this blood test covers your recommendations. I will askndrbnext week if this blood test covers what you have suggested. Thank you.
