Huh?!? What is this sh**?!?

[Guest guest]

I am sooo confused! 1 Internist, 1 Rheumatologist, 1 Family

Practioner= RA diagnosis. Really do not like Rheumy Dr. Internist

and Family MD say I must see a Rheumy. Ok, drive 1 1/2 hours to

next nearest Rheumy. Like her, BUT.... she looked at all the files

I had brought with me and did a very thourough examination and tells

me that she thinks that I have Lupus (causing inflamatory arthritis)

and Fibromyalgia and NOT RA. She had them take 10 vials of blood

for more labs and had x-rays of my feet. I go back in 2 weeks.

She was very surprised that all 3 other Dr.'s had diagnosed as RA.

What's going on here? Has anyone else had stuff like this happen?

Is this all so closely intertwined that it is hard to

differentiate?

Freaking out! D.
