[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 603530, member: 1514"] I was going to say he should be able to get wonderful care with both his insurances. I wouldnt doubt the diagnosis as fast because I started out with gout in my big toe from mid-teens. Now look at me! I was very interested in finding out you can have RA without the whatchamacallit in the blood. They have always ruled out RA for me just because I dont have that factor even though I have others. I have wanted them to try the RA medications for years but they only tried a couple of NSAIDS and when they didnt work we went straight to pain medications and steroid shots every so often. From what I was told you can only do a steroid shot in the same joint 4 times a year or less because the steroid will make the joint worse even though it can feel better in the short run. [/QUOTE]
