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.

So pleased you've seen someone you like. It makes so much difference. And here's hoping you feel much better very soon.

Rhupus?

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