Biologics are medicine they use for RA. AS. And other auto immune disease. Yes you need a Rhematologist. The medicines like everything ELSE THE first one may not work for YOU and it can take 2 weeks and up to 3 months for them to help. Hope you get some help soon.❤

Yes I agree cruel, I would ask for another referral for a second opinion everyone has right to a second opinion and frankly some doctors shouldn’t be in practice and that is a very ignorant and cruel thing to say what he told you I’m sorry you’ve experienced this, please get second opinion and tell your regular doctor why and demand second opinion and do not tell the second doctor what the first said let them develop their own opinion without influence from the first doctors opinion

Auto immune disease that show up are not inconclusive in blood work I don't believe. I think if it's genetic but then no one really knows. It's a cruel disease NO matter HOW you get it.
