I don’t know what to do now?!

I was finally diagnosed 2 years ago and about 4 years before that 2 it was like you’ve got you don’t! I have other autoimmune conditions which they thought it make my test look like it’s RA. Last year I had bad chest infection was hospitalised end of July. I had 2 further outpatient follow up appointments and then nothing. Me and my doctor for about 2 years trying to manage my asthma as I thought it was my asthma! During February my doctor sent me to see a lung doctor after a few tests he said that there is pleural effusion (water in the lung) left side. I had a tab done then was told it was difficult so you going to need a procedure by a cardio thoracic. Done that and also there was a lung scare which he took out in full. Results says it was consistent with RA. Now awaiting further opening for they would like to know for sure it’s not TB as well.nothing on the biopsy to suggest that put also they don’t have a definitive no! I there is a lot of medication can’t have because of liver condition.! Any advice? Thanks
