So the bloodwork results came back and guess what? I have frigging RA. Seronegative RA and possibly psoriatic arthritis without the psoriasis (which apparently is a thing, I guess) but she wants to do more bloodwork to confirm it. And some other crap that really made her go “Wow. Your blood is REALLY fucked up. I must do more tests on it to see how fucked up it is, exactly.”
I knew there was more going on than just bursitis. It took every ounce of maturity I had to not go “SEE? You were WRONG! Nyah nyah nyah nyah!” I was an adult though and just went “Uh huh..ok. That’s interesting. Uh huh…” instead. Because that’s what you do when you’re a GROWNUP.
One of the things my initial bloodwork came back with is either I have cancer (which I don’t THINK I have..I’d be really REALLY sick if I did. Probably.) or some kind of funky chronic infection (which again, I probably don’t have but maybe I do and I just don’t know it?).
So I have to go back in January (which I was going to have to do anyway) and get more tests done to find out exactly how screwed I am and how we can possibly fix this or at least make it suck less to be me on a daily basis.
