arthritis antibiotics
Can I have RA?
I have the same symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, but has not shown in the blood for three years and my joint pain went for three years. But about three months ago the pain returned. Doctors do not know what I have. It is not Lyme disease, because the antibiotics did not work. Could be RA?
I would not rule out Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections yet. Depends on the type of antibiotics he had, and how time. (The "standard" course of antibiotics for Lyme disease is 2-4 weeks of doxycycline. However, many find they amount to no help – and time Antibiotics helped them.) Recommend to read about this and see if you fit the profile.
