Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hello Joy! I go to two different doctors because my first wanted a second opinion of my diagnoses. So now I have 2 rheumatologists who think that I have RA or Ankylosing Spondylitis, LOL! I have symptoms of both diseases and perfectly normal bloodwork. As the disease progresses, they will be able to determine what my issue is. My first didn't want to start me on the stronger meds until I got the second opinion because of the side effects of the medications and the fact that I'm young (I just turned 30). So, they are going to keep tinkering with the meds until we find something that works. So far no luck, but hopefully something will work for me soon.
