Hi have just found this site so obviously I am new
Well at the moment I am wating to see a rheumatologist (March14) I have already seen one about 4/5 years who diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia Osteoarthritis Cervical spondylosis Reflux oesophagitis & Reynard's in my hands . For the past twelve months I have been more or less in a constant flare , started having problems with my eyes watering and going very blurred and feeling very sore , not being able to read a book or newspaper etc went to the optician who diagnosed Meibomian Gland Dysfunction & Blepharitis was prescribed two lots of eye drops one day and night 6 months on went back and he did further test and he suspect Sjoren Syndrome as my eyes are so dry but I don't have a dry mouth he wrote to my GP who then got in touch with me , did a lot of blood work and one came back with the RA factor raised this has been slightly raised before but this time he decided to act on it and send me to see a Rheumatologist and Ophthalmologist , still waiting for this appointment ,
I feel in limbo at the moment to what the diagnoses will eventually be I do have a lot of symptoms' of RA especially my hands on both sides my fingers are very swollen and very tender to touch manly the two middle ones both my knees are sore and ankles my scalp feels like it been in the sun and got sunburn even to put brush through is painful
,(all good fun)
Is there any one who has been in this situation where these condition, or it one and comes under a umbrella syndrome
