Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Hello everyone. I'm new here. My husband has been afflicted with migrating joing pain since January and we have been to two RA specialists. The last one said his ANA was high, tested him for Autoimmune diseases and said he has Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. According to the Mayo Clinic site, this disease can cause the joint pain he has been experiencing. So - they sent us to an endocrinologist who proceeded to do 17 more blood tests and then tell us it's not Hashimoto's and he has no idea what is wrong with my husband. Now, we are back at square one and are so very frustrated. I'm hoping someone out there has had these symptoms and has been diagnosed and successfully treated for this problem. If so, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know so we can try to get him some help. He is in so much pain and I just don't know what to do or where to go from here. His symptoms include, migrating joint pain that is worse in the evenings, it gets so bad he can hardly walk or get in and out of bed - low grade fever, and decreased sex drive. The joint pain will be in one spot (shoulders, knees, hips, hands, elbows, etc.) and then the next day it's in a whole other area of his body. MOstly his hands hurt all the time though. Help me if you can.... Thank you.... Quote
