Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Nina, All I can say is THANKS! That goes for everyone. I have felt so supported. Tomorrow, I am off to see PCP apparently my standing blood orders aren’t standing anymore…*lol* So, my PCP will get a good look at my body tomorrow. But I refuse to change anything till the rheumy gets a good look at me, every inch…ok, maybe not every. *LOL* Feeling brave tonight, Peggy “The only difference between a weed and a flower is judgment " - Author Unknown Re: [ ] TO PEGGY - YOU'RE MAD ! ----- Original Message ----- From: Peggy Brecheisen > Thanks Nina for the info. Maybe it is fatigue I am talking about. Fatigue can be every bit as dibilitating as pain. >I am hanging on at 1½ mg prednisone and next Tuesday, I am not leaving the rheumy's office without permission to increase prednisone or something that will help me. I hate taking it, but we have to do what we have to do! >I do like my rheumy but this one has never seen me when I am like this.heck, maybe I am flaring. I had a different one when initially diagnosised. Went to my PCP twice last year with a swollen, extremely painful hand. He x-rayed it both times because he thought it was broken even though he had already told me I had RA. :-( Finally, I just happen to have a followup appt. with my new rheumy on a day when the same hand was horribly swollen and painful. Woke up at 4:30 a.m. that day feeling like someone had taken a sledge hammer to it. When he looked at it, he said " rheumatoid arthritis " . It was just pure luck that he saw it.
