Arrgghh! I was (luckily, ha ha) diagnosed with RA even though my xrays and labs are negative. But I have all the symptoms and when my rh does the squeezing of the joints tests I just about go thru the roof. Then of course there's the unending fatigue, inflammation and pain. Personally, since you asked, I think it's inappropriate for others, lay people or doctors, to even consider diagnosing you unless you're under their care...
