She is on her fifth doctor, at Marshfield Clinic, Marshfield, Wisconsin. He told her she has some? form of arthritis. Can you enlighten me so we can help her?
Arthritis Associated with Other Illnesses Q & A
flu like symptoms
About a month ago I thought I had a cold or flu. My muscels hurt and I was just not feeling myself. The not feeling myself went away after about 2 days but the aches have not. My wrists. hands, feet and now my hip on the right are all very sore and just plain hurt. should I wait and see if it will go away or do you think I should go and get this checked? My fingers and wrists also seem to be swollen in the morning.

diagnosis?
I am a 49 year old female. I have had scleritis for 8 years and this year with that flare up I also had 2 bouts of pleuritis and I had joint swelling in my knees and wrists. I had posterior scleritis and I am being treated with prednisone. I got with a Rheumatologist and so far have tested neg on lupus, RA, and several other test. The dr. wants me to get a second opinion, but suspects I have spondyloarthropathy and I am taking mexetrcate once a week. My labs make me look very healthy, but my body aches and is stiff, but I don’t have a terrible time getting out of bed. Is this in my mind?

My son has had problems with arthritis and uveitis for years. Now he has started on Remicade in hopes this will help his uveitis problem. They are trying to stop the inflamation in his eyes. He is now receiving steroid shots directly into the eyes. His doctor is trying to see of Remicade treatments will help with the eye inflamation. Have you seen any results with this treatment and eyes.
