Chainsaw incident. Very interesting:) I do not have the RF factors in my blood and my xrays are ok. My diagnosis is based on my symptoms and my reaction to the drugs. My hard core symptoms where i was completely dysfuntional came on this last April and I was diagnosed in June. I too am blessed to have gotten diagnosed so quickly. It takes some people a long time to get diagnosed. But on the other hand when I look back I have had problems for years and blamed it on other things. Holding a cell phone= my excuse was that my mom has osteoarthritis in her hands so that was the problem. Not being able to sleep on my hip= because I have had to kids. My ankle and knee bothering me because my feet had self diagnosed osteoarthitis. Oh yes and then my feet being bad because I had osteoarthritis. I kept putting all that off to something else. Now I realize it was all connected. Yet I still tell my doctor I think I am crazy every time I see her. At which she usually responds by saying you are not crazy I can see and feel your inflamation. I am hoping some day to not think I am crazy and to be back to where I was before all this. The two people I have direct contact with who have say I will. So I guess we can both hold out hope. Hope talking with others helps. But know you are not alone in the it's all in your head group:)
