I have sjogrens, EDS and am now 45. My youngest two children have mitochondrial disease of unknown cause and EDS. I was so healthy before but then it seemed like a chain of events out of nowhere. When I wake up, I often have loss of circulation in at least one hand and foot. I’ve never been overweight and was raised on farm & our own garden. It’s been a journey. And yes, my teeth were lovely most of my life and now are as bad as a person without dental care. 🥴 For my kids and self, we’ve been all over US and never found answers or help. Thank you for your channel! Medical professionals need to know more and not stop learning after school. Diagnosis can only help if you find a knowledgeable & caring Dr & afford the copays. Hard in US

It's so important to see a rheumatologist if you have these symptoms because so many conditions have similar symptoms. I have had ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia for around 20 years, but was diagnosed by my rheumatologist with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis a few years ago. With this type of RA the blood tests don't usually show positive for RA so it makes getting diagnosed more difficult. Because many of the symptoms cross with what I already had, it was only when I went to see a new doctor that the additional condition was found. I probably had it for about 4 years before that. Since I already experienced pain from fibro, the additional pain in my hands and having my eyes be drier than usual did not seem like anything to be concerned about. Because my new doctor wanted a complete picture of my condition, we discussed every symptom I had and he did a thorough exam. I feel lucky that it was found and I began treatment before it got too far along.

Unfortunately, rheumatologists are scarce in Nigeria , I go to a very far place to see my doctor and come back late in the night. However, I have changed my diet and it helps a lot.

Hi from U.S.A. I’m glad to hear to are able to receive medical care from a Rheumatologist despite having to drive for several hours. You are not alone. After seeing 3 Rheumatologist’s that were all 3 hours drive away, not one Doctor knew what was wrong. The 4th doctor, I like. He is treating me now with some success. This doctor is a 5 hour drive away. Not only in Nigeria are doctors hard to find and many hours drive away. In the U.S.A. this appears to be increasingly normal. It will only get worse as years go on. Peace.

I’ve had all these symptoms exactly as described and all at the same time and though I still struggle with dry eyes and dry mouth, when I change my diet, all the symptoms go away except the dry eye dry mouth, but it becomes so much more manageable. Mine was related to leaky gut and gut candida and sibo both I got treated…diflucan and rifaximin to resolve it. I’ve gone through this a few times over the years, it comes back due to a have a poor microbiome caused by poor diet, infection, antibiotics.

Does RA always show up in a blood test ?

I don't have RA, but I really think I have Sjogrens. My dry, horrible eyes are not constant, but intermittent. Lots of other symptoms also.

They say it’s rare to have PsA and RA but I think I have RA too. Currently on Humira which is helping my knee but not doing much for my hands. Humira also normalized my inflammation levels which were so concerning they thought I had blood cancer and sent me to an oncologist/hematologist. Luckily, no blood cancer just tons of inflammation.

This is caused by inflammation. If it is only happening once a month, maybe it is something that she is eating. Maybe not. Since they don't know what inflammation causes it, then I would try to eat a vegetable diet for a month, raw and cooked, drinking lots of water and nothing else (sugar is an inflammatory food) to see if the inflammation goes down and it stops. Then, you can try introducing new foods every week to see if any of the foods are inflammatory. Sugar, high fructose corn syrup, genetically modified foods, and processed foods are all inflammatory.
