Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Andi, Hi, and welcome to a great board. You will find lots of info, and great people, who are always willing to help in anyway. And BTW.. don't ya just *love* how Dr's, or other medical professionals dance around of what is wrong. " Could be, maybe, possibly, chance of. " Almost sound like the weathermen, LOL. Anyways, as long as we can help eachother, and our children, I guess thats all that matters. Take care, Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hi I'm a newbie here. I've had had joint pain off and on for years now that I think back but within the last 8 months I went to the my pcp who did some blood tests said negative for RA but sent me to a rheumatologist. The rheumatologist based on my symptons, swelling and joint pain in fingers, wrists, knees,feet and ankles said sounds like RA. Ran some blood tests RA came back negative but he said it may not show up for awhile but I had a low C4 and a high compCH50 (whatever that means) Started on vioxx and wrists splints at night. Vioxx did nothing now trying celebrex. Also ultram for severe pain (which I don't like taking) Has this happened with any of you negative RA test also he said the other 2 show some type of inflamation going on. Any of you familiar with the c4 and CH50 tests? Just new to all of this. Also I hear alot about diet, what foods do you find triggers it? Thanks and I'm happy to have found this site.
