Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hello. Thanks for all the wonderful posts about how to deal with my Rheumy. I am seeing my GP next week and will ask him to send me for a second opinion. I'm usually a very decisive person, but since being diagnosed with RA, I've really started second-guessing myself and all my decisions. I have a special needs child who I advocate for all the time. For whatever reason, I can't seem to do the same for myself. That will have to change. I've also realised that since becoming ill with RA this year, I've spent most of the past 7.5 months at home in bed. Maybe it's because I've been so isolated, but I've developed social anxiety. I'm okay to go to my doctor's appointments, to the local grocery store or to the lab for tests - but that's about it. I have anxiety attacks and worry for days ahead of time about going places, the traffic, the crowds, etc. Weird, huh? I will talk with my doc about it when I see him on Wednesday. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Thanks again for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
