I am also struggling with a very similar situation. Rheumatologist diagnosed Psoriatic arthritis a couple years ago but none of the DMARDs seemed to have any effect. Trialed a couple biologics but ended up hospitalized with an atypical pneumonia. So I went off all meds and now working with another doctor. I’m fearful of some of the meds (there seem to be quite a few which target multiple inflammatory conditions). At this point, I feel like a guinea pig and helpless. I have painful and visible joint damage (hands and feet) as well as having had knee and back surgery. My medical chart says I have inflammatory polyarthritis. Hoping to find something (other than Tramadol) that will help me.
Ana’s also show autoimmune diseases you already have. It’s very hard for doctors to really diagnose some auto immune diseases. They say I have sero- negative arthritis, but I know I have PMR. They say that when they don’t know. RA blood test were negative And some people have abnormal Ana’s with nothing wrong with them. Check all antiflamtorys in blood test. Mine Ana’s looked like lupus, but it’s not.
