the op may not have done, but i have.  psoriatic arthritis (now
branded, in my case, sero-negative rheumatoid arthritis) tends to
confuse rheumatologists, simply because it may _not_ present in many
of the standard tests.

i was lucky that my rheumies chose to treat the disease agressively,
based on the symptoms rather than on the tests.  in the end, my
disease is pretty well controlled (i reached this state about 10 years
after first rheum appointment ... they were investigating the
possibility of anti-tnf treatment at the time, but rejected it on the
basis that my inflammation had started to retreat.  i still feel bad
on days like today, though ... good old low pressure syndrome, eh?).
