Renee
Sheila7468@aol.com
with these diseases for 12 years now. I am one of those few people that
have
never tested positive in any of the blood work analysis which several
different Dr's have tried. I finally have a good Rheumatologist. She
says
that I am seronegative . We are not sure right now if it is RA or Lupus.
I
have a history of optical neuritis (4 cases), but luckily that has been
several years ago. Now I am suffering with Neuropathy in my feet and
legs.
This is a painful thing. And it never stops hurting nor goes away., so
because of these weird items, she is floating to a diagnosis of Lupus
one day
and RA the next. I would just like to know what I have.
I have a wonderful and supportive husband and 2 young teenage boys. I am
a
stay home MOM and would love conversation with others like me.
Thanks.......Renee
