Dealing with a new RA diagnosis

Hi friends! I was recently diagnosed with seronegative RA, and started on Plaquenil. Have your diagnoses changed over time? What was your diagnosis like? I’m still flabbergasted over the diagnosis, myself.

I was diagnosed with seropositive polyarticular RA at age 12, after going through Scarlett's and Rheumatic fever (& then sydenham's chorea). Over the years I have been diagnosed with 11+ other diseases, including inverse psoriasis last year- so my diagnosis has now changed to seropositive polyarticular psoriatic arthritis.

My doctors also told me for years that it was fibromyalgia. I was recently put on a trial of low dose prednisone for a month and it drastically improved my chronic pain so they’re looking into a diagnosis of seronegative RA
