I'm glad your girl is getting some help finally!
It turns out I do have some words of wisdom after all.
I just wanted to point out that while I have the worst test results, two of my sisters have way worse symptoms and degeneration than I do.
For instance, I test positive for lupus, rheumatoid factor, and HLAB27, but my joints are fairly perfect. One of my sisters tests negative for all of it, yet she has full blown lupus, RA, and now she has developed trigeminal neuralgia as well as possible scleroderma. Another sister is negative for everything except HLAB27 and she has already had spontaneous fusing in some joints and surgical fusing in others.
So, my suggestion is to watch your girl and continue to believe her when she complains of pain.
Test results aren't everything.
Peace
