Hi Tishi, I'm a little confused. I have a blood test tomorrow for possible Rheumatoid Arthritis. If the test is negative for arthritis my doctor has said that its most likely Fybromyalgia as you can't have both Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fybromyalgia together?

This thread is more than 3 years old and the member hasn't returned since posting this. Of course you can have Fibro and RA at the same time. However, if the test shows you don't have it, then you won't have both of them.

It is possible to test seronegative for rheumatoid arthritis and negative anti-CCP. You may well have both but it may take some time to diagnose.
