- in the early stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Guest guest]

,

I saw your message and just wanted to say we are thinking of you. I hope the

dr can find out what is going on with you and come up with a plan of action.

Please know we are here for support but I hope that your pain levels become

tolerable!

Thanks so much for being here! It means alot to me. Haven't heard

any results yet from my blood tests. The pain has subsided some but

the mornings are still real bad, the weather isn't helping either.

Thanks again for the support.
