I am from Northern Ireland but I spent a year being tested at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath. If you can, make a private appointment with Prof Raj Sengupta. He's the best rheumatologist in the world ever (and I have had 9 of them).
Thanks so much for your reply Judy, I am finding it hugely difficult to even be taken seriously as I don’t have any markers either but pain and swelling is persistent.
After privately seeing a rumathologist he suggested Psoriatic arthritis however the NHS rumathologist disagrees, so no answers as yet, onward and upward.
I have widespread OA, the swelling seems different in my joints. Thanks so much for sharing Anna.
It took quite a time to get diagnosed! I had all the signs except the markers. He tried Methotrexate and helped at first but after a year all the pain and swelling he diagnosed me with seronegative. More Drs are diagnosing seronegative. That was a lot of years and lots of med changes. Good luck to you as you walk through the process. Judy
