Well, after a lot of messing about and doctors disagreeing with each other, I've finally got a referral to a rheumy!!!!!!
My doctor still isn't sure if it's RA or not but she's hoping the rheumy can shed more light on things. It will take 6/7 weeks before I can see him but at least it's a step forward instead of the brick wall I was facing.
Only a slight victory, but it's still a positive!
That is a big victory. On your way to a diagnosis and more important - treatment. Let us know what happens.
