Nope. A muscle biopsy was suggested at a point when I was going through a lot of imaging and testing and I was really, really tired of it all. I railed at the Dr's that if it wasn't going to change their treatment plan, I wasn't interested in the test. It's probably led to a slowing of diagnostic procedures and I'm cool with that.
I'm both better and worse at this point. The inflammatory arthritic issues are somewhat stabilised, I flare a lot and painfully, but still very annoying and progressive. The hand and foot stuff that defies definition continue their course. I bounce between ignoring it all to being deathly curious to getting a definitive answer and leaving it be. I try to stick with the axiom that if it's there, stuff will become obvious over time. Basically, I'm working on getting on with my life as it's being redefined.
