confused

[Guest guest]

I am so confused. Today my rheumy called me and told me my chest xray shows

I have Right upper lobe pneumonia and to go see my regular doctor. I don't

feel sick like that at all. I have had pneumonia before, and it leaves a

definite impression on you. Anyway, I go see my internist and he feels also

I don't have pneumonia, but he isn't sure what is showing on my films. So of

course, the bad thoughts start running thru your mind. So now I have to go

for a ct scan on Oct. 3. He thinks its just a shadow of something, and I am

praying hard he is right! He also had the results of the xrays of my hands

and feet that were taken, and my hands were fine, and my feet are showing

all sorts of osteo arthritic changes. Now my hands and wrists hurt worse

than my feet and the films look fine? I swear, the more tests I have done,

the more questions there seem to be. Do I have RA or not? If not, what on

earth could it be. From what I read, and what the doctor tells me, I have

all the symptoms, so why isn't something difinitive showing up???

Anybody out there have any insight to what might be going on? Boy would I

love to hear some theories!!
