I currently dont have a rheumatologist I trust or have comfortable relationship with so I am nervous about this new diagnosis.
Any suggestions?View Thread

Boston Rheumy did all my labs and my Sjogrens lab test both came back positive. My RF was positive last time and this time normal, all my labs for inflamation were normal and my ANA was positive.
Dr said she has seen cases of patients on Prednison and taking otc anti inflamitory meds can have normal labs while on meds. She has stoped the Prednison and does not want me taking any OTC meds so she can see the real picture.
Something I didnt mention to her that I didnt think about until it happened again is that every few weeks I feel like I am having an allergic reaction to my own body. Every inch of me itches and nothing stops it. I will mention that to her when I see her again.
My question for all of you is have you heard of someones labs coming back normal even with out of control symptoms just because of the meds they are taking?View Thread
