Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - Introduce yourself and meet others

@fannie Did you have all these symptoms before you had stents put in your legs? Did the doctors or nurses comment on your symptoms? Maybe you could ask your doctor if the stents are causing your problems, especially as you say you are allergic to nickel. Could you make an appointment with your doctor and ask if it’s possible? Let us know

when you say you are allergic to nickel, did an allergist skin test you for this or was this from bloodwork?....kozlo52

No, I didn't have any of these symptoms before having the stents put in. My allergist, or my family Dr seem to think my problems aren't coming from my stents. This is why they recommended a Rheumatologist. With testing positive for autoimmune disease...this is what they are inclined to believe, but still they (rheumatologist) haven't been able to diagnose exactly what it is. I'm confused, concerned & trying on my own to find out what's going on with my body.
Thanks for your concerns!!
