Frustrated! So my labs show chronic inflammation. ESR, CRP, Sed Rate, Complement C3 elevated. Ultrasound shows RA nodules. I scored 13 but not 14 for positive and I get the Lupus face rash. You can’t be seronegative for RA and have the nodules. I had severe nodules in my hip and had the bursa removed. I now have two options genetic testing. Can anyone tell me how it affected your insurance? Option two after genetic testing depending what it shows if nothing go to Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN was told the campus larger and more doctors.
Anyone had genetic testing or been to Mayo Clinic in Rochester? If so did it affect your insurance plus I heard staying in MN is expensive anyone offer any advice?
