I believe I have Reactive Arthritis or Reiter's Syndrom. Does anyone have any advice on how I can work with my doctor to properly diagnose and treat this condition, and what I can expect?

You might consider seeing another doctor, are you seeing a rheumatologist. My official dx is Reactive Psoriatic Arthritis. I'm on Enbrel and Mobic and Sulfaslisine.

Thanks for the reply Keli. I've had swollen fingers, elbows, eyelids for 2 1/2 weeks with a onset of cunjuctivitis and some viral infection that started it all. All blood tests came back essentially normal, thankfully. I'm not seeing a rheumatologist yet but will hopefully see my primary MD on Tues.
