I just learned my Vectra score is 73 which is pretty high meaning my RA is not under control. The weird thing is that I don't have a lot of joint pain right now so I thought things were under control with Rinvoq. I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I do plan to talk to my rheumatologist but I just wanted to get an idea from you all how important this measurement is.

I’ve never heard of the Vectra Score before. It must be a new test to measure disease activity. Here is some more info about it:

I wish you good luck with your treatment plan.

I have taken everything that there is to take. So I would go back to dr and have them retest and ask more questions. If I didn’t feel good about the answer I got I would get a second or third opinion. It never hurts dear. I have had to do that many times to find out the truth.

Thanks Sharon. I just heard from the Rheumatologist and he says it may be elevated because I had Covid recently. I'm hoping that's the case because that means it's temporary.
