Re: Could this be RA?
I am so sorry you got dismissed like this. Your Dr. sounds very closed minded and uncompassionate. I would find another Dr and consider going back to the Mayo clinic in Rochester this time if you can, and ask them to start you on treatment and do everything they can to pin down the diagnosis so you can follow up with a local Dr. to continue the treatment they start you on. You have been through a miserable roller coaster of not being believed (about your symptoms and the fevers) and your abnormal lab tests blown off. Your local university clinic may be helpful if a revisit to Mayo clinic doesn't work. It is so frustrating and demeaning to be treated this way. You deserve better, and I would get your records and go elsewhere. I hope you get a good Dr. next time who listens, cares, and will help you!
