Hi there! Yes, I have it. I was diagnosed in summer 2022, based on bloodwork (I had elevated CRP and SED/ESR) as well as symptoms, like pain in multiple joints, fatigue, low-grade fevers, and shortly after, began having swelling in my hands and wrists. My CRP and SED/ESR are actually still elevated, as my rheum and I try to find the right medication to help. ✌️

Me too! My Dr is fabulous and recognized it early. It’s ok, just means a different way was used to diagnose the RA

I have it. Was diagnosed thru an ultrasound on my hands. Its treated the same. I suffered needlessly for years before a doctor believed me and diagnosed me on the spot. My primary refused to refer me to a Rheumatologist. Said they wouldn't treat me. I now have a wonderful female Rheumatologist and am doing much better with treatment. Unfortunately the damage was already done to some of my joints. Now facing possible surgery.

I am seronegative. Nothing shows up on my blood work for RA markers. I just have slightly elevated CRP. The only way RA Dr was able to diagnose was by my hands and X-ray/scans.
