This sounds exactly like my current mindset...I have a deep distrust of doctors. When I was younger I had multiple misdiagnoses on sports injuries that ultimately cost me college sports, now this new saga of mine.
I'm almost as skeptical of the RA as I am the Antiphospholipid because that diagnosis was based mainly on my symptoms and my reaction to Prednisone (I feel like a God when I'm on Prednisone. It's sickening how much better it makes me feel).
Ill also note that I did one week of carnivore in all of this and that was actually the best I've felt throughout the entire process, but it's so hard to stick to it. I'm going to revisit that after my appointment next month. MC are some of the best at what they do, so I just want to let the doctors do their thing before I try any more of my own fixes. I'm really curious about celiac despite my previous tests though..

My integrative Dr had me do an anti inflammatory Diet (AIP). I did that for 93 days (I was to do it for at least 30). I felt amazing and lost the pitting edema in my legs and 30 pounds to boot.
I eliminated all sugar and processed food. All dairy. All nuts and Seeds. No nightshades. No grains. I reintroduced a new food gradually, every 3 days. I was able to find my triggers and have eliminated them.
Now, 4 year later, due to a huge amount of stress and I am an emotional eater, I fell off the wagon and started consuming cakes, pies, cookies, chips, etc. I am inflamed again. I just finished a 48 hour water fast over the weekend. I am now eating heavily plant based, with very little meats.
I was on Prednisone as well and felt great! Glad to be off that as it caused adrenal/cortisol issues for me.
