I have now heard from my gp that they would like me to try some steriods for my joints. Because my Rheumatoid Factor test came back negative and my esr was negative as well they don't believe it could be Rheumatoid Arthritis. Want me to take steriods without even seeing me. Said I didnt want to take any as last time they made it worse. Now have to go back and see another gp at the surgery after waiting two weeks for this information. Can't get in until Thursday now and not happy. My ankles have been really swollen and I have taken pictures of them to take with me. When I go see gp they are never that swollen. I really feel I need to be referred to see Rheumatologist and now will have to fight my case. Wish me luck! Sorry about moan.
