UPDATE from My 2 Doctor Visits Today

What can I say but.............................. GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

All my test came back negative (yet again) and the doctors are still complex as to this RASH I am suffering from and the new symptoms that have started up with in the last week.... with no explanation, or reason other than my RA - possibly, but not 100% sure.

New Symptoms:
Rash is itching beyond words, I am having inner discomfort/pain with my kidneys & bladder when I unrinate, chest pains and flutters/shortness of breath with fluid acumilation around my ankles, feet, eyes and hands. Regurgitation of food with burning of the throat - given a Dx of GERDS for this one and given a Rx to take for it.

NEGATIVE on the Lymphoma.................... and yet my doctors still no explanation for the RASH - as to WHY? ! ? ! ? ! ?

.... I have been asked to stop one of my RA meds for the next month to see if the RASH goes away or becomes worse - I hope and pray that I make it thru the next 30 days with out both my RA meds.... for I am dreading the PAIN that might surface during this time with out both my meds - glad I have a stock of pain pills waiting.

I think I will just up on going in to see my doctors in between my regular follow up appointments, therefore, I will just go back to my yearly physical and every 6 mth check up with my Rheumatologist. They may have me go in for a biopsy of the skin for my rash and then to an allergist..... but then that is it for me.

This is strange....... one of my older sisters had her yearly physical and her doctor is concerned about some new issue she had been having (arthritis) - and he is sending her to see another doctor to be tested for Lupus - strange just strange.
