Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi a I did have my thyroid tested and he that one test was " off " but the other test should have been off too and it wasn't. He said it was weird. I had a good weekend and I'm starting to be hopeful that the methotrexate is starting to work. I had slept on my shoulder too long and expected it to hurt for days on end, but it got better within 24 hours. Then this weekend I wasn't nearly as tired as the last time I took the methotrexate and today I was able to get up and do a little cleaning without pain pills. Please keep your fingers crossed. This is a hopeful thing! a <a54@...> wrote: , You are very welcome. I don't know what to think about these doctors that think woman are mental cases when they have illness that they can't diagnose. I guess it's easier to blame the patient than to fell inadequate as a doctor that can't diagnose the problem. You are not alone with doctors that say it's all in our heads. Have you had your thyroid tested? You email is just fine. Welcome to the world of email. I'm not sure why you can't just start a new email and address it with RA- SUPPORT and have it come to the group. The way you are doing it is fine, but you should also just be able to address an email and send it. Don't feel bad about being new at it. We were all new at one time. a On Oct 5, 2005, at 8:50 AM, Bauman wrote: > a--Thank you!! Thank you!!
