Help appreciated - multiple symptoms, auto-immune always high

Have you seen a rheumatologist? If so, are you able to see another one for a 2nd opinion? I have been to 3 before I found one who would truly listen. I have an undiagnosed auto immune issue for over 3 years. I ask I have vertigo, migraines, an inflammation issue of the chest (feels like a heart attack), joint pain, swelling and muscle pain. I do get numbers and tingling, burning pain. While most labs are negative, I am doing much better on plaqinal and arava. I would keep pushing through doctors until you find one willing to listen. Have you seen a neurologist? If they found lesions on your brain, did the look into ms?

It takes time to see different Rumies. I gave up after two and went back to my general who fed Morphine. I finally went to the U of Texas medical clinic. If I lived in my home state of Mind. I WD have gone to Mayo. The main thing is they are teaching facllity.. They will try every test possible to fine an answer. My Rumi at Texas medical spent one hour with me on first visit. Next visit neatly the same. She looked at me and said you do not have Fibro. I am going to treat you for Rumatoid arth. But I also want you to see an oncologist. I now have strong meds that my kids don't want me taking and no addictive pain meds. I had an infustions yesterday and today I am tired ad it takes about 7 or 8 hrs but today no pain. I also found out I had stage 3 kidney disease from addictive drugs. St least I am being treated. I am 76. If they must use me to help others go for it
