I went to see my Rheumy 2 weeks ago....
they xrayed my hands= no bone damage (just swollen knukcles)
Back= All clear
Neck= is a mess, narrow nerve channel and nearly all but two disks being pinched...

He has not told me what i have got...even though i gave them 5 blood samples. Says ive got to go back in two months....

I've managed to get my hands working, after not bothering for a long time....as i was too sad....

I still have no idea what i have....and docs dont want to tell me...but i know its spreading whatever it is.....

Anyone have any ideas what i can do to get a proper diagnosis?

Hello KA

I have never heard of it so googled it (Sativex) and it looks promising.
The Rheumatoid Journal website http://production.investis.com/gwp/pressreleases/currentpress/2005-11-09 reports a study carried out recently which said

The first study to use a cannabis-based medicine (CBM) for treating rheumatoid arthritis has found that it has a significant effect on easing pain and on suppressing the disease

Will keep an eye on this one - perhaps a new line of treatment? Apparently it is cannabis based!

I hadnt heared of it before but read the link (thanks katat) and it looks good, please let us know how you get on with it.

New to me, too - sounds really promising, will keep an eye on it. Your doc at least sounds as if he's keeping up with things, which is more than a lot of them do.

Sounds interesting. As the others say, if you give it a go let us know how you get on. It is possibly another route to take when others fail. Thanks for that.
