Have Enlarged Lymph Node, Negative RA, Ankle Pain. Suggest?
Trying to find out if I really have RA or not. They can't find medicine to help me and tests show I don't have RA but they say I do. Someone mentioned Sjogrens syndrome?
My eyeballs seem to get enlared, lymph nodes get enlarged and sometimes I can't even walk as my ankles hurt so bad. They want to try doing IV with Orencia, but Enbrel did not work along with Plaquenil. Can't take Methotrexate as I have Hemochromotois.
My quality of life is getting worse and I am getting ready to turn 50. I have been active all the time and this is just not fair.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have are likely to be due to an immune related disorder. Negative RA factor does not exclude rheumatoid arthritis./ Do consult a rheumatologist for proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
