Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - Introduce yourself and meet others

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!!

Hi @fannie here are a few discussions on undiagnosed autoimmune diseases that I thought may be helpful:

@fannie What have you been able to learn about all your symptoms? What has the rheumatologist said?

when you say you tested positive for RA, does this mean that your rheumatoid factor was positive? what was your "sed rate"? do you have a lot of joint pain? have you been tested for Lyme disease? do you have swelling of the joints?.......kozlo52
