Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Just heard back from my GP's office, all my tests were normal - both xrays and blood tests. I know that's not uncommon with PA. But how does the rheumatologist decide how to treat this, how to conclude it *is* PA? Is it really a simple matter of " you have psorasis, and joint pain, and the joint pain isn't caused by Lyme, RA, Lupus, etc, etc... so it's probably PA " ? Is it just based on symptoms alone? My reports of joint pain? The swollen finger is back to normal. The psorasis is still on my scalp, but my GP gave me lotion to take care of that. By December it may be all cleared up, and the only remaining symptom may be me whining about my aching joints. Or are there other tests the rheumatologist will run?
