What is confusing about RF IgA is that it can be elevated in healthy people and normal in patients with actual RA. Since all the other mentioned tests are normal, I don't think you have RA. However if you have characteristic symptoms & signs of it,I'd have to abide by the opinion of your rheumatologist on this matter.
