Re: blood tests negative. Mine were too, but...

[Guest guest]

Hello Anne,

All my test were negative too, the rheumy said she could find no evidence of RA.

On the 22nd of Oct. She stated the problem was tight muscles. I notice a nodule

on the shin of my left leg while showering, and have an appt with my Md tomorrow

to show it to her.

I am between the md say yes to RA and the rheumy saying no evidence of RA.

Good luck to you

all fine, that there was nothing unusual. I asked her what comes next

and she says that I am to continue taking the Vioxx for a few weeks

and then call and make an appointment with her if they are not

helping very much. I asked about the rheumatologist refferal and she

said we could talk about that in a few weeks.

Is that normal? I thought this is something that should be jumped on

right away. I am a little confused now that I have to wait for her to

even make an appointment for a refferal, then I will probably have to

wait who knows how long for that appointment with the way things are

going in our Canadian health care system. Geesh!
