Diagnosis Update! (Physical health related)

So when I saw the geneticists, I had gotten a dx of "Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease." Connective Tissue Diseases being things like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Scleroderma, etc. It's kinda like an "Otherwise Specified" dx I believe - where you don't meet the full criteria for any one particular CTD, but still have the symptoms and struggles and whatnot!

(NOTE: EDS and other genetic connective tissue disorders were ruled out despite the hypermobility and other symptoms, because my medication for rheumatic conditions was working well, so it's thought to be more rheumatic connective tissue, rather than genetic.)

I was, and am still, so happy about being taken seriously! It wasn't super concrete, but it was still something that's a valid diagnosis, that real people have and struggle with.

Well! Today I saw my rheumatologist and she added another diagnosis of "Inflammatory Polyarthritis." We knew my type of symptoms with a connective tissue disease were closer to that of arthritis, and my medication I'm taking for it has the reasoning of arthritis... but she had never really put it on paper besides that.

I understand that it isn't a specific TYPE of inflammatory arthritis, as there are a couple, but it's saying it is arthritis... and that makes me feel very validated.

I'm not sure if that takes away the UCTD dx or not, but either way, all is good :)

Sorry, this isn’t something I ever want to post about, but if anyone can give me any kind of medical advice I’d really appreciate it. Bit of a vent for warning, so I’m putting it under the cut.

So for the past two years I’ve had incredible fatigue, joint pain (no swelling), digestion issues, constant low-grade fevers, brain fog, the works. It started after I switched meds and gained some weight, which I thought was just the problem at first, but the symptoms are getting so overwhelming it’s ridiculous.

I’ve tested negative for rheumatoid arthritis, but DID have “chronic inflammation” according to the results. We’ve also ruled out diabetes from some other tests. The leading theory from my parents is fibromyalgia because I fit 98% of the symptoms, but we need more tests to make sure. So I get referred to the rheumatologist, right? Maybe they’d be able to help?

…Six months later, we’ve only JUST gotten the referral after multiple back and forth phone calls and being left on hold for hours. And you KNOW what they told us?

“Sorry, we don’t treat that kind of diagnosis.”

And it’s like, WHAT DIAGNOSIS??? We weren’t TOLD a diagnosis! The doctor said they were going to figure out what diagnosis I had! When did he make this decision??

So we finally, FINALLY get to hear my diagnosis:

…“Arthralgia/arthritis”

…Okay? According to Google, arthralgia means anything from “uh oh your joint hurts owie” to an actual, literal chronic illness. Maybe? But I have symptoms that still aren’t explained, and one type of arthritis is completely off the table. I could benefit from an explanation or something??

If my doctor said the rheumatologist would help diagnose me, why do I already have a diagnosis? If they don’t treat arthritis, why would he refer me to them in the first place?

Is “arthralgia/arthritis” even what I have, or did he choose something random because he realized he NEVER sent the referral back then in the first place, and needed to put down something once we asked about it???

What’s the DISCONNECT here that I’m not getting??? I just want to know what’s going on with me before I have to leave for college :(

If anyone has ANY idea what’s going on, or wants to share their experiences or needs clarification on some stuff I wrote, PLEASE let me know, because apparently the doctors won’t 😭

Sorry if this isn’t worded well or doesn’t make any sense, I’m writing this both in pain and distressed

Understanding Arthritis

The Best Knee Specialists in Bangalore at Suguna Hospital describe Arthritis as a condition that causes swelling and tenderness in one or multiple joints throughout the body. As your age or with certain health issues like high blood sugar levels, this condition may worsen.

Different Types of Arthritis

Arthritis isn’t restricted to a particular age but is commonly noticeable in later stages.  

Some of the common types are:

Osteoarthritis – Affecting joints in your Hands, Knees and Spine.

Psoriatic Arthritis – Caused due to a very complicated skin disease called Psoriasis, this condition can be very challenging.

Reactive Arthritis – This causes joint pain and swelling. It is caused either due to infection or malfunction of key organs of your body including the intestines, genitals, or urinary tract.

Rheumatoid Arthritis – This is a chronic inflammatory disorder. In addition to affecting the different joints, it can deeply impact premier organs like heart, lungs and eyes.

When to See a Doctor? Experts recommend seeking immediate medical attention if you notice specific symptoms, like

Stiff joints

Acute pain in the joints

Difficulty in moving or standing

Swelling observed in or around the joints

Redness observed in the joints

Treating ArthritisManaging Arthritis requires a systematic approach. It’s crucial not to overlook persistent symptoms as mere discomfort. Ignoring these signs can lead to costly consequences.

MedicationsDepending upon the type of Arthritis diagnosed, your medications may include:

Exploring Diverse Causes of Joint Pain

 Joint pain, also known as arthralgia, is a frequent symptom that can be caused by a variety of conditions other than arthritis. Lupus, Lyme disease, celiac disease, psoriasis, rheumatic fever, tendinitis and bursitis, gout, and infections are all potential causes of joint discomfort. Lupus is an autoimmune illness that causes inflammation in the body's tissues, including the joints, skin, and organs.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection carried by tick bites that causes joint discomfort and swelling. Celiac disease is an autoimmune ailment caused by gluten ingestion that can induce joint discomfort in addition to gastrointestinal symptoms. Psoriasis is a persistent skin condition that can progress to psoriatic arthritis, causing joint discomfort and stiffness. Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory illness that can affect the heart, joints, and skin.

self care through the signs

aries - avoid bottling up emotions. express anger or impatience. hopefully in a healthy manner.

taurus - take a juicy nap, maybe with silk or velvet involved. eat a sumptuous meal. delight all the senses.

gemini - you have to talk it out, or at least write it out. journaling is great but so is a text or a phone call or a heart to heart.

cancerians - comfort, reassurance, and emotional security are critical to your well-being. as much as you can, provide these things for yourself.

leo - although it may seem unrelated never neglect your hair care routine. your hair is your psychic antenna.

virgo - care for your entrails. fastidious attention to the microbiome will take you far.

libra - mind your kidneys and skin. hydrate! it's old boring advice but it's more important for you even than it is for most.

scorpio - the most important self love you can do is healing your trauma. shadow work, therapy, somatic healing, whatever it takes.

sagittarius - you require radical honesty and authenticity, and time outside. even if you're not sporty, a little sunbathing will go a long way for you.

capricorn - being closely associated with the bones, arthritis and arthralgia can be a major problem, but even if not, caring for structures (even metaphorically) is good for your whole life.

aquarius - keep your lymph circulating. a dry brush and maybe a little volunteer work will keep you in best working order.

pisces - sleep enough and stay away from addictive or compulsive tendencies. never ignore lingering dreams.
