    High rheumatoid factor and low test levels

    About 4 years ago I had blood work done because I was getting severe cluster type headaches. They found a high rhuematoid factor in my blood. But I don't have arthritis. Anyone with a low free, bio, and total test level also have a high rheumatoid factor in their blood as well?
    I am just curious because this can cause immune system problems and maybe low test levels from hypogonadism.

    I cant speak for the a high rheumatoid factor since I wasn't tested for it however, I was suffering from pretty advanced stages of LowT. I had been suffering for nearly 20 years and level was 174 when I was finally tested. At that time, I was suffering for chronic pain all over my body, It would move from moment to moment. Some have refereed to is as Fibromyalgia; not really sure if it actually is the same thing, but for all I know it could be a result a a high rheumatoid factor. Fortunately, the pain went away as soon as I began treatment.
