Hi all,
I have visited here before. I am under the care of a MS neuro; see her every several months to monitor my one brain lesion (in pons). Last I saw her was in May and she ordered another MRI my 3rd). I know she is looking for another lesion and then I would be diagnosed.
Anyways, in late June I started having joint pain in my fingers. I've always felt kind of achey in general, but this was different. It got to the point where I couldn't even touch anything without excruciating pain in my fingers. I saw a rheumatologist at the same hospital where the neuro is. Long story short, I was diagnosed with sero negative RA.
Now, the rheum wants me to follow up with the MS doc and have my MRI done. I don't have any of the symptoms I had before which led me to the MS doc (dizziness, numbness, right side facial droop, etc). Do I still go? I'm so tired of doctors in general and just dang TIRED.
I start steroids and plaquenil for the RA tomorrow and I am supposed to see the MS doc soon!
Any advice? Thank you!!
