I have seen just about every ologist there is but no, haven't hit the endocrionologist yet. I saw a reproductive endocrinologist with the fertility things a few years back but not a regular one. I have an appt in 2 weeks with my regular gp and I assume the endocrinologist will be my next appt.
I saw my regular rheumy last week and she said yes I do have seronegative ra, to continue my humira shots and the steroids. But, she thought my biggest complaint at the moment was due to the fibro. They started me on the lycria again, tried it before and couldn't take it but we started at a lower dose this time. It was just fda approved for the use of treating fibro.
My overall pain is down to about a 6 or so with specific joints hurting worse at the end of the day. It was a screaming 8 all the time. But, they have me doped on so many pain pills and crap that I am more than dazed and confused all the time!
The swelling in my neck has gone down but my hands and feet are just as bad. I am not on much anymore because its hard for me to type. Hopefully my gp can sort things out a little and point me in the right direction. My blood pressure and my pulse have been sky high lately. I get these attacks that are sort of like a panic attack without the panic. My rheumy was rather startled the other day when I was in her office but I assured it that it happens frequently. My bp gets up to 180 over 110 and my pulse gets over 120, I shake and sweat and get breathless and dizzy, than it goes away and comes back whenever it feels like it. Crazy stuff, I am just a medical mystery at the moment!
