RA in Kansas/part 9 billion

June 8, 2005

I tried to condense it as much as I could. There is more like I think

it is either RA or psoriatic. I think that my right shoulder is

effused now. If it isn't psoratic arthur then I have vasculitus as a

complication of RA. My doc said that the Ra factor is nothing and 80

percent with it in their blood have nothing wrong with them. I then

pointed out that I have symptoms though. You ought to see my clubbing

fingers, it is crappy. He says it is so mild not to worry. My new

plan of action is to try to get in to see the old rheumy who moved

further away on a cash basis. Trying to straighten out the therapy

situation so they can at least report my pain, fatigue, and limited

mobility and range of motion. I'm still trying the therapy pool when

I am able. I'm also trying to see about an appt. in another state

and checking into clinical study programs. I told my doc that I

needed something to slow the progression, he said prednisone, Ya know

the drug that makes me not know real from unreal and the one he said

my wrists were affected by! Well, in March is when I finally got

another computer and got on-line looking for any information and some

sort of support group and came across this one!!! I can't thank all

of you enough! The information is fabulous and the stories of

everyone is informative and heart-wrenching! I'm just glad for the

positive in my life and this site is one of them. Take care to all

and I hope that today is a good day for you!!!
