Like everyone else I'd say get another rheumatologist. One that will listen to you. I found a doctor that listens to me and I'm finally getting things done.

You need a new RA. Do you have psoriasis? Did the RA test for rheumatoid arthritis? Other? How high is your sed rate? Fibro has no inflammation markers so if it's high, most likely RA or PsA. I remember my first year trying to find out what was wrong. It took me several doctors to find one that was concerned and found out what I have. I hope you do as well.

I agree with all of the experienced members above.. and think we should all ask for a tutorial to teach patients how to navigate diagnoses.. reading reviews of Drs really helped me. I ended up resorting to including Drs who offered telemed appts, because the selection I had without that wasn’t satisfying me.

Sometimes we can find reviews for doctors who may be great docs but are wanting in the bedside manner department. I decided not to see anyone who got reviews that included the words rude or curt, for starters. Thorough and patient are good words to look for.. Hope you’ve successfully found a new rheumatologist.. it’s tough but true, we each have to learn to be out best healthcare advocates.. if you feel the need, take someone with you who will chime in and support your need for more information or testing 🤍

Don't be afraid to get a second opinion. Some dr's just don't want you to question. Find one that will listen to your concerns.

I would get a second opinion. Sophie is right about having psoriasis and PSA. You can have PSA, Osteoarthritis and Fibromyalgia ( I do). The only thing that bloodwork can do is point out inflammation and to see if you have an indicator for Rheumatoid Arthritis.
At any rate treatments are available to help but you have to have a Doctor who will work with you.
You can have sausage fingers and sausage toes but you don’t have to present with that. I don’t have sausage fingers... I spoke to someone at the Psoriasis/Psoriatic Arthritis Foundation and she said they can help you find Doctors in your area who specialize in treating these diseases. She also said that sometimes people have to see several specialists to find the right one.
I am getting so upset with how hard it is to find good medical treatment for this disease!
Praying you can find the care you need.
