Finally got to see consultant again - went through x-rays (showing some signs of oa but not in the joints that hurt). basically got to wait to see if it flairs up again after i finish the steroids but he doesn't think it will so I must be making it up then.

Hi Chez1, That's what they do to my husband and me. We have no idea whether we are supposed to have RA or not - it depends on which doctor is doing the Clinic. One minute it is urgent for us to have all these drugs that suppress our immune systems, then we go back to get them and they say the blood tests are all negative again! We both have distorted, swollen, stiff fingers, wrists ankles and toes and take ordinary anti-inflammatories and big doses of Tumeric, which seems to help quite a lot. As you say it is very annoying to be left up in the air like that. We have come to the conclusion that the Rheumatology people either don't know what they are doing, or they are denying people a diagnosis, possibly to make it harder for them to claim Health Benefits. Regards,
