Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 hello, helen here (again!) firstly, thanks to everyone who has replied to my e-mails, it has been such a relief to find this group. Thanks for the advice about doctors; since my first e-mail i have been to see a urologist (for the horrible urethritis symptoms) and he has been really great, as has my gp, and between them they have prescribed me dioxcycline for the cystitis and vioxx for the inflammation. They have both told me to change my rheumatiologist, agreeing that a psychologist is really not going to help the symptoms! the main reason why i am writing though, is the terrible chest pain i have been having for the past few days. It is a burning, tight pain in the middle of my chest, which has been getting gradually worse, and now is at the point where i can hardly sit up to write this e- mail. I'm sure this is related to the reiter's, because i have found descriptions of chest pain in the archives of this group, but does anyone know any effective ways of relieving the pain, or how long it usually lasts? it really is getting unbearable, and the gp didn't really know what to do with me. i am going to have to do something, but am scared that if i go to a hospital, judging from the lack of undertanding of this condition, i will just be told that i'm stressed and sent away with paracetomol... I am so frightened. warm regards to everybody, helen xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
