Subject: Re: REACTIVE ARTHRITIS AFTER FOOD POISONING
Hello I don't know if this helps but I don't think you are mad at all. Several years ago I too had CAMPYLOBACTO food poisoning and then shortly after started developing joint pain. I don't know if the two are related but seems a bit of a coincidence??? It has taken many years and many tests for me to be diagnosed but I have now just been told I have Rheumatoid arthritus. Sometimes rheumatoid arthritus can be really difficult to diagnose it has taken me seven years as it did not show up in my blood. Some joint Damage showed up in xrays and MRI scans but the doctor couldn't say for sure what was wrong. I was finally diagnosed by having a small operation on my shoulder and having some tissue removed from the joint for testing. Maybe you could speak to your doctor about this if your situation doesn't improve. Good luck and don't give up Kate
