@margaret216 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’m sure that some of our members will want to help. I’m so sorry that you’re having all this trouble and that your rheumatologist isn’t helping. Is it the same doctor who has followed all of your other autoimmune diseases? Have you even been able to see this rheumatologist for an office visit? Let’s. Ask a few members if they can help, @covidstinks2023 @imallears and @funcountess .

Hi, I only saw a Rheumatologist a few years ago, I was seeing a Neurologist for Myasthenia Gravis and Pure Red cell aplasia but was told I was in remission after taking Prednisone for a few years. I have had periods of time where I felt pretty good but strange symptoms and chronic fatigue were addressed by my PCP. I had digestive problems for decades (IBS) and finally had my Sigmoid colon removed so the autoimmune problems were put on a back burner. I have been to a few Gastroenterlogists who thought I had Autoimmune Hepatitis but finally I saw a Rheumatologist and the blood work showed RA and Sjogrens but I get sick from the medicines that I tried, Sulfasalazone, Enbrel ( gave me Afib) so I'm only on Plaquenil. My legs burn so bad and my hips keep me up at night. Sorry for the long story but I could go on and on, thanks for your time.
