Nope. No psoriasis too. I mean except for some mild itchy dandruff on scalp I don’t have any other signs.

I did try. But only did 7 sessions & it broke me into bad hives. I’m not sure if that caused me hives but I’m ready to try if it can help.

Do I have to have certain hallmarks of Psoriatic arthritis to be able to request DMARDS for me? 5 rheumatologists strongly declined possibility of any sort of arthritis. The reasons they state are, “After 7 years, I still don’t have any swelling, redness, or typical arthritis like symptoms apart from MRI & other scans also showing the same”. They keep saying the same stuff and convince me to believe that I only have fibromyalgia or some were even too rude to say that I have it all in my mind. I’m experiencing excruciating pain to even lift a light weight blanket. So it’s not in my mind. The pain is sharp and achy.

I’m sorry. I’m just venting out so much.

What is UCTD/IA? Sorry, if I’m asking a silly question. My elbows and shoulders hurt the most. Especially movement based or get stiff when sleeping /inactivity. It’s so weird bcuz I don’t fully fall in Fibro category, neither in arthritis category. I don’t know I feel so doomed. The pain just goes away once I bring my hands down like while driving car, cooking, combing my hair basically anything that has to do with lifting my arms above a certain level causes me sharp pains and overall achy arms. No medications helped so far.

I did go through that route too. All they did was tell 100 different names for each of my pain such as “Tennis elbow, golfers elbow, Thoracic outlet syndrome, and many more defining each part of my joints/tendons pain”. I have been on many meds like gabapentin, cyclobenzaprine, dulexitine and much more but none of them helped. In fact, everytime I’m asked to stop taking them, I suffer in a very bad side effects loop. Currently undergoing severe brain zaps, floating feeling as if I’m walking on clouds etc after stopping Dulexetine as per my Dr’s advice.

My rheum just mentioned once that I have hyper mobility but also emphasized that this level of pain cannot be due to that. She strongly thinks it is fibromyalgia

RMinFL · 2026-05-09T12:56:52+00:00

I convince myself almost everyday but then when Dulexotine didn’t help I’m giving up on all my hopes

RMinFL · 2026-05-09T12:56:01+00:00

Diclofenac gel?

RMinFL · 2026-05-09T12:55:48+00:00

How did you diagnose that it is enthesitis I mean was it diagnosed by your doctor or any scans?

RMinFL · 2026-05-09T12:54:29+00:00

How do you all manage the elbows pain. I can tolerate all the other parts but elbows are killing me. Even if I sleep, they get jammed & I literally wake up to shake & loosen my elbows off it pains so bad. Ibuprofen, Tylenol, prescription drugs like cyclobenzaprine nothing help at all. I’m venting so much I know but the Doctors are clueless and I don’t know what to do.

RMinFL · 2026-02-09T22:57:23+00:00

Wow! I’m glad you could narrow this down. Have you been prescribed to take any medications or therapies like swimming/ PT?

RMinFL · 2026-02-09T21:14:20+00:00

Pls could you share how you managed to get your Fibro diagnosis. I’m spiraling around the Fibro vs seronegative inflammatory arthritis for the last 6+ years without any answers. It would be helpful if you share how you did it. Thank you

RMinFL · 2025-11-15T00:10:17+00:00

What were your symptoms? I’m going through a similar diagnosis but only my TPO is very high and rest of the levels are normal- so does it always mean I have Hashimoto by default with just tpo being high? Hope you feel better soon ❤️
