Hi Michele,

I too am absolutely stunned at this latest health news. Firstly I wonder why the new rhuemy wouldn't have tested your RA antibody first before prescribing the Imuran on top of everything else you're taking. Is there another form of arthritis you may have. Yes drug induced D definitely doesn't suggest Chrohn's or Ulcerative Colitis in my mind. You are right though that Chrohn's and Ulcerative Colitis can cause joint and eye problems but still it doesn't sound like you have either condition.

Is the RA antibody the same thing as the ANA test?

I really hope that a doctor can sort all of this out for you b/c it's just totally appalling to me that you've had to suffer so much at the hands of "bumbling" doctors who have misdiagnosed you and subjected you to serious drugs for apparently no reason.

Sending positive thoughts your way.
Jenn
