Hugs sweetie!! I know how frustrating it is to be sick and for the dr's to not know whats wrong. And why does it seem that our bodies are always on their best behavior while we are at the dr's office but as soon as we leave, they act up again! I would definitely call them the next time your having a lot of swelling and just say, I need him to see me like this now! As I mentioned before, you can have RA without the positive blood test but it is hard to diagnose, especially if there is no swelling on examination. Have you tried taking Advil when it hurts? It seems to take the edge off a bit for me and physical therapy does seem to be helping also. Hang in there, I hope you gut some answers soon!
