Re: My doctor results yesterday

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I hope things get better soon! I know the news isn't what you wanted to hear,

but things always get better. It's a roller coaster ride, so we just have to

enjoy being up when we can. Let me know if I can do anything.

Take care,

Bari

bad as many but my GP a week ago after my fall thought the lumps in my lower

back were muscle spasms and it turns out they aren't. They are common fatty

tumors but pretty large and very painful. This is my pain management doctor and

since I have so many deteriorated joints there are too many involved for

injections because after all they would only work temporarily so he suggested my

rheumy put me back on steroids.

see what my labs say to make such a decision. It saddens me though. My Still's

has attacked mostly my joints over the years although I have had my bouts with

the organs as well.

> I have had so many falls over the years as well and that has not served me

well I must say. I suggest anyone avoid this at all costs ;0) It really will

make a difference as the years pass.

little extra bit and that is some of the reasons I fall.

off the mountain so if I'm away for a few hours you know I'm alright. It will

take me a couple of days to get back to everyone that have been so loving.
