Hi Jen

Welcome to the group. I know its hard to talk to other you love about this. I

felt so alone for months until I found this group. It has been a life saver. If

you want to talk you can e-mail at latishavallone@... and I will give you

my phone # writing to much hurts my hands so I would rather talk. I too have 4

kids ages 5-11. I have been homeschooling then for 5 years now. Its has been

hard coming to terms with the RA. Im almost 32 and found out about the RA 1 1/2

years ago. So Im pretty new to this also. Write me if you want to talk. Take

care. Latisha

Welcome Jen. Being newly diagnosed can be frightening. We have many

members that have been through everything and we understand how you

feel. I haven't had a nerve test done, but I watched my husband get

one done. He didn't think it was anything to get upset about. Others

have said they weren't so fun. I've found attitude makes a big

difference in how we handle this disease. Some woman have babies

without so much as an aspirin and others want to be knocked out at the

first pain and woken up when it's over. Our pain tolerance is

different, so what may be horrible for one person could be minimal for

others. I hope the test goes well and the results will help you. Did

your GP do the diagnosis?
