Hi all, I've been seeing a rheumy - once in April and now again since my orthopaedic doctor sent me back to them thinking that they should investigate more. My ANA panel, Sed Rate, CRP, myositis panel, etc have all been negative. So...she says that I can't have Lupus, even though she previously had told me that you can have Lupus with a negative tests since the specificity isn't 100% - it's about 95%.
For anyone out there with experience with this, I'm wondering how long one ought to stick with Neurontin before trying something else?
I read that therapeutic doses of Niacin, much higher than RDA, is helpful in some patients with neuropathic pain. Has anyone tried this?
Lastly, does anyone else have similar symptoms that never resolved? How do you cope? I'm not sure that this won't eventually drive me clinically insane.
