How Long After Symptoms Start Do You Actually Get A RA Diagnosis
Hello, I am new to this site. My doctor believes that I am Serum Negative RA, so I am having trouble getting into a specialist. Has anyone else had this problem. My inflammatory markers are rather high, and suggestive of RA. I was diagnosed in 2000 with Fibromyalgia, but this is a different kind of pain it is in my hands, and has traveled to my elbows and other joints. It sure is frustrating.
I also have had zero-negative RA for 11 years. I would definitely go see a rheumatologist. Treatment medications can definitely help.
I am negative also, but I have seen 6 rheumys (2 retired and 2 I did not care for), all of them diagnosed RA. I had ultra sound on my joints at Johns Hopkins. That does not lie.
feel bad for you I had a knee op but it made not difference I'm afraid theres not much of an answer
I'm seronegatice as well but it did not stop me from seeing a rheumatologist or getting treatment.
@A myRAteam Member thanks for the info regarding the Vectra test!
New, Sorry If It’s Been Asked Before And I’m Sure It Has…Anyone With RF Negative But ANA Positive
Who Has Had TMJ? Does Anyone Know If It's Connected To The RA?
I Asked A Question Earlier And Spelled Something Wrong. I Want To Know If Anyone Has IBS Issues And If So What Are Your Symptoms.
