I'm not sure until I see the neurologist again in late January after my MRI. My rheumatologist just told me I was misdiagnosed when I lived in Indiana and I don't have psoriatic arthritis, it is early advanced degenerative osteoarthritis and he feels as if this is all because of nerve damage based off of the deformation of my bones from my neck (why I saw the neurologist in the first place) and my shoulder (what my orthopedic originally was treating me or not treating me for before referring me to the neurologist) all the way to my hips, elbows, knees. My mother had double hip replacement at 55 and never played a sport in her life. I was told I got bad genetics. The brain fog and occasional blurred vision, lethargy, forgetfulness on top of the numbness is what is causing concern for an MS diagnosis after the MRI. Also with the tests I just had done by my rheumatologist, he told me I have thick blood and it could be a sign of PV which is a type of rare blood cancer that just shows up over time after a genetic mutation in the JA something gene from what he told me. Causes the body to produce too many red blood cells. Symptoms fall in line with some of the ones I mentioned for MS earlier and could answer why my CEA numbers (a carcinoembryonic antigen) have been increasing and have been elevated over normal for the last almost 3 years. He is forwarding all of this new information over to my oncologist who I see Jan 10th that can hopefully help provide answers I've been searching for.
