Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I also had negative bloodwork for a number of years. I was also tested for carpal tunnel syndrome and had corrective knee surgery still without anyone recognizing what was happening. Finally got diagnosed and began receiving treatment. Treatments vary - some work for one but not another so your rheumy will help you find the right drug. Methotrexate and Naproxen works well for me now. I also understand your reluctance to accept the drug use for the rest of your life (I went through that also) but your opinion changes when your body demands relief. Drugs are far easier than the fatigue, pain and joint damage of untreated RA. The people on this list are very knowledgable and supportive and you'll find great relief reading the posts and knowing that others have gone through the same problems as you are experiencing. Good luck and God bless. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
