Dear 8j4p2r I do sympathize with you. I have sjogrens, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis (and other medical problems) It is impossible to know which one is the culprit when the symptoms are similar to each other. This also impedes proper treatment. It is a guessing game. I am now with a vascular doctor who is trying to treat me for the arthritis problems. I told her I have a rheumatologist and you want me to take a medication methylprednisolone which is contradictory and dangerous to the many medical diagnosis I have. I came to this doctor for the vascular problems I have. How do I handle this??????
