My guess is that you read the term for seronagative Rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a immune disorder that usually exhibits itself in several joints of the body at the same time, (often the same joints on opposite sides of the body). When it is suspected that Rheumatoid arthritis is the culprit one of the blood tests that is done is one for Rheumatoid factor (RF) most of the people that have RA also have a high RF, However in about 20% of cases there is no RF and this is Known as seronegative Rheumatoid arthritis.

It depends on the form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis, or the general wear and tear arthritis, can be exacerbated by exceedingly high levels of Vitamin C (way above the normal nutrition level). If rheumatoid arthritis is the concern, a diet high in fruits and vegetables (and Vitamin C) can lower the risk factors by up to 3 times.

This is a disease where the immune system of the body mistakenly attacks tissue in joints and other organs and part of the body. However this is not the case in all forms of arthritis For example osteoarthritis is a disease where joints are effected by wear tear and trauma and not as a result of inflammation caused by the immune system.
