thanks for your replies, I dont have diabetes, the test came back neg, but this time the rheumatoid factor came back off the charts - the highest dr has ever seen, so am waiting for a specialist. Also still extremely low red blood cells.
Just hope they get somewhere with it, I do run fevers quite often at night, often very high. Also I am a des daughter which i understand increases risks of autoimmune diseases, and have had anticardiolipin antibody problems which was a factor in multiple miscarriages until finally given heparin with my son.
I hadnt heard of diabetes i., but am a bit afraid to annoy dr with something else at the moment as i am really annoying them with the joint thing. Its been going on for years, just getting steadily worse, and this time is a nightmare. At first they put it down to pregnancy hormones, which they said could last 1 1 /2 years after the child was born, then kept saying to just take paracetemol and wait a few months and so on.
Well at least they are sending me to a specialist, but it takes ages here on nhs.
thanks again for all your help.
