Hi hun! how are you feeling today?  Where in the UK are you from? im trying to see if i can find anything out about an internal doctor over there for you.  Or what you guys would call it.  i found something that you can search for drs but you have to put in what town you live in and i wasnt sure where you are.  Hopefully i can find something for you.

Shannon

aw, that is so kind of you.  I live in scotland - glasgow to be precise - thank you so much for your help

julie- have you gone to a GP yet?  i found something (not sure how i got there lol) on the BBC website about first going to a GP and they will look for the symptoms and have you get tests done, But since you already have had those done you prolly can bring them in and tell him this is how im feeling and ive had these test run.  Can you help me get better. Something like that.  Just dont say that you think you have RA right off the batt let him do a little work lol  i'll send you the website and the NHS website if found hopefully it works.  Let me know if you end up going.  You should also be able to get your medical records from the other drs youve gone to.  I dont know if its the same way inthe UK as it is the states.  Let me know hun keep me updated.  If you want to email me my regular email is kelsaysmommy02@sbcglobal.net... Keep your head up! It will get better

ohh here are the websites sorry i forgot to put them in

The first one is about going to the GP and what he'll do etc, the second one is a link where to can contact someone and find out where you need to go for a specific condition (if im looking at it right) and the 3rd one is the main website for the NHS

Hope this helps
