Hello All! New to the site....I am little worried about things....I acutally met with my doctor about some blood test I had. I have actually a positive for RA and Lupus. I also have high antibodies and viral counts. He thinks that those are triggering the positive test.  I am only 28 yrs old but I am 6 foot 8 so I have had moderate back and neck pains. Just recently did it start in both feet, one ankle and one knee.....ANyone have any input or advice...

 

Thanks,

I also have no idea of the treatment offerings, doctors, or offices i should see. When my pain is bad, its horrible. I generally have to 3 lortab 7.5s just to bare it. I have been er 2 and 2 different doctors on this issue....Hi tallboy, I'm sorry you are sick at your age. I was too and it's no fun.
 
I think the place to start is your doctor who did the tests. If he hasn't already consulted a rheumatologist, ask him to refer you to one.

Welcome to the board! Sorry you have to be here.
 
A good rheumatologist is in Auburn, not to far from you.
