Need some Medical help please. i'm desperate?

Question

I have had severe joint pain and fatigue(along with other symptoms) for two years now. i feel like NO ONE is listening to me. I think i have an auto immune disorder that no one has diagnosed yet. I have high WBC counts, very high C-reactive protein levels, and very high sed rates. my ANA was negative, lyme disease neg, celiac disease neg, sjorgens syndrome neg, rheumatoid arthritis neg....I do have a strong family history of psoriasis and arthritis though. does anyone know about psoriatic arthritis? or have any other ideas about other auto immune disorders that i might have? i saw a rheumatologist and was treated horribly. i am never going back. i feel like the doctors are missing something. i would be eternally grateful if someone in the medical field could help me with this. thank you

sounds like u have something going on.. go to another rheumatologist and get a second opion.. you could still have psoriatic arthritis or SLE or rheumatoid as some poeple just dont test positive to it but obviously some reaction is going on with ur symptoms and high WCC, ESR and CRP... id be getting a 2nd opinion.. people with this picture usualyl end up being classed as sero-negative arthritis (i.e. they have a dieases but their blood work and autoantibidies are negative) and treatment is available.. good luck

Having suffered from psoriasis before, I eliminated my symptoms completely with dietary changes. Try Whole30 or the auto-immune Paleo protocol. It certainly can t hurt and may seriously help. Eliminate dairy, grains, sugar & alcohol for 30 days and see what happens- you may be surprised! Good luck to you

I'm not sure.  My sister has celiac for sure, however, her blood test was negative.  Just keep that in mind.
