My doctor is ordering a wash-out of biologic after 15 years to "re-diagnose". Anyone else experience this treatment plan?

After 2 years of various, re-occurring, treatment resistant infections, my doctor ordered halting my long-term use of biologics (15 years) because of suffering severe inflamation in the mouth (which lasted continuously for 3 months) with a wash-out period of 3 months in order to re-diagnose. My doctor from the Mayo Clinic is not convinced I have PsA! Anyone else experience a similar set of circumstances? Feeling confused and angry?!
