Light at the end of the tunnel!

I went to see a different rheumatologist last week. She was shocked at the way I'd been managed, (well not managed really), she thinks I've probably got rhupus, which is  a new one for me. Loads of bloods and scans of hands and feet etc, and hopefully starting DMARD;s next week.

Thanks to everybody for your support.

Rhupus?

Rhupus is characterised by the presence of symmetrical erosive polyarthritis with an overlap of the clinical and immunological symptoms of lupus.
