Geoff,
The reply box was not active, so here is my reply. Yes, been tested for
everything. Blood is good. I've had a good response to Mtx and Enbrel.
Who knows what I've got. Some day we'll get to the bottom of this.

Mike, It has to be the worst, going through this without a diagnosis. Thank God you have an understanding rd. Just don't think your crazy - it is amazing how many people do not get diagnosed. I get the ra diagnosis - should be glad I have a diagnosis - oh no not me - I try to convince them their diagnosis is wrong and I have Lyme disease
While my rheumy has given me a qualified RA dx, it's a mixed blessing.
The good part is that maybe what I have will pass. We know the bad
part, at worst no one believes you, sometimes you don't believe
yourself, how many times can you call to work sick...
I've got it good in the sense that I'm not deformed from the RA and I
would never wish to be if that's the proof it took. David has seen me
at my worst and he has no doubt. I am a lucky dude for that. So, I'll
carry on and help others when I can.
Mike
Sadly, you count your blessings when you read here how bad it is for so many others. I have got it good compared to so many here. I still get so frustrated with my rd, he is way more pro-active if I have swelling even if I tell him I have more pain sometimes without the swelling.
