Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hi, everyone. I have not posted in a few days, have not been feeling well. I wanted to catch you up with the " final answer " on the tunnel erosion question I posted a few weeks ago. I had a visit with my doctor yesterday, who confirmed that the only thing that causes tunnel erosion and scoop erosions to show up in MRIs is RA. He confirmed that even though I have a zero RA factor and zero Anti-CPP score, I definitely have RA. Said he would do another set of MRIs in 6 months to make sure there were no changes, and if there are, then we will add additional medication (other than the 20mgs. of Methotrexate I'm currently taking). His nurse called me today to tell me that my sed rate on my latest blood tests had jumped from 28 to 54, even though he had upped my MTX from 15 to 20 mgs. Don't know why that happened, I was actually thinking I was feeling better (pain wise) but have been more tired. Anyway, thank you to all of you guys for your support and the vast quantity of information! May you have a pain free evening.
