How long before diagnosis?

[Guest guest]

I have been symptomatic for a few years and some diagnostics to prove its not in

my head have detected on xrays and had two operations on hands and concluded

teno and syonvitis which is usually connected to RA. Which runs in my family.

But, bloodwork is not detecting anything. I look perfectly healthy from that

point of view. My doctor is sure something is going to show its face at some

point. I do have osteoarthritis in my neck as of 35 years old. Neck hurts

pretty bad at times and sometimes gives me headaches. Hands kill all the time

and feel like my knuckles are broke and swell. Feet hurt and knees. Hips too.

Some times am not sure if its all joints or sometimes ligaments and muscles.

I was wondering if I should have a lip biopsy to rule out Sjorgrens. I hear

alot of false negative on that as well.

Feed back is very much appreciated.
