I am so glad to find this group. I was diagnosed two years ago by a man who is a wonderful person as well as an exceptional rheumatologist. Unfortunately, he left the practice and I was shifted to a kind young woman. However, she does not believe in the SerumNegative test. She believes if the ANA and other tests are not positive you do not have RA. Also, he had prescribed Methotrexate which made me feel better, with no side effects, and she removed it. His office is on my health plan but it takes about two hours to get there and I no longer drive. However, I finally just this week decided, that I am going back to him. These days there are telehealth visits available and I hope after one or two visits to help me get back on track, I can go to those. It just isn't worth it to suffer and also to be wondering who was right. So, I hope all of us find physicians who believe in us. I cannot get in to see him until October but, I wasn't seeing the other one anyway! Fingers crossed for all of you.
