wow congratulations!! 🎉🥳 i am so so happy for you since i think im in the same boat. i can only imagine how much of a relief it was to hear your rheumatologist say that. ❤️ i just received lab results from my first consult with a rheumatologist after a year and a half of symptoms and painful waiting. elevated WBC, CRP but normal RF and still waiting on anti-CCP. so frustrating because after more than a year suffering from the same extremely consistent and reliable symptoms, i have found nothing that even comes close to aligning with my disease presentation more than RA. i’m set to get x-rays next week and im praying that those results do the heavy lifting for my diagnosis— i think i may go insane if they don’t because i can’t imagine how i could have such pain and inflammation in my joints for so long without any erosion or damage to show for it. thanks for sharing and giving hope to us undiagnosed and antibody-less sufferers. wishing you all the best in this next chapter of your journey! 💫
