  Hi, Welcome to our group. You will find that it is a great place to be. Your story is similar to many of us, definitely, similar to mine. I chased doctors for a full year, while my disease was deteriorating, without getting a diagnosis. At the end, I diagnose myself with the help of a great South African website and got my Rheumatologist to provide me with an "experimental" treamtnet with Prednisone. Within one hour all seventeen joints that were affected by the disease at that time were back to normal. For the first time in months, I had no pain. A week later, I was "formally" diagnosed by the doctor with sero-negative RA and placed on the most aggressive treatment that I could get (a combination of Prednisone and Methotraxate). My response to the treatment has been phenomental. Seven months later (today), I am pain free, active (I walk for one hour every day) and I had no side effects to the treatment. You will be better soon too. Just do your research, insist on the best treatment you can get, and keep being active and optimistic. Hugs. Me
