Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hi Hair2cut I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say nodes but my lymph glands are often swollen. Sometimes painfully so. I always assume that it is just part of this insane disease. I am also exhausted all the time and I still work so that's a bummer.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi Debbie, I am sorry if you didn't get a response on your post. We have all been feeling bad and depressed. I have a few nodules on my fingers, I think that is normal with RA. If you think your not be properly diagnosed, you should get another opinion, I would find a good rheumy. Hugs, Tawny > > i had written before... thanks gina for asking where but no one ever > answered any more of my posts.. maybe i wasnt sending them right i dont > know but ive also been sending supportive comments but it seems like no > one sees them...I love ya all... ive been learning alot on here... but > i have a question to all... does anyone ever get node swelling all > over.. and i mean near the joints swelling in the chest and small areas > on tips of fingers that feel like slivers where the ends of fingers are > all swollen... ive been goin thru the ra/lupus/fibro... mixed > connective for many yrs but dr always puts me off on anything...im > tired all the time and just want to hand him a note and it say here is > this months stuff... my lungs always get bad with a flare.... asthma > meds dont work ... i think finally since i got diagnosed late that its > not true asthma but inflamation.. like my stomache.. irritable bowel... > i was told by one doc it was an inflamation thing.... so all my stuff > goin on same thing... and its been 25 yrs and they still dont know.. > but i still cry alot.. sad thing my daughter goin thru it... diagnosed > lupus > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 hi tawny.. i wish i could find a good rheumy .. we are in short supply around here.. no one is taking new patients and some accept limited insurance types. I lost mine after he opened a new practice and didnt take my ins. anymore...It had taken me 5 yrs to find him and yes he was good. Now i have to do my own resaerch and deal with my gp. Hugs to you and hoping all gets better and better......debbie --------------------------------- Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Debbie, I can understand that. Here in OK, there isn't many rheumy's. I am very lucky right now, I'm very satisfied with mine. Where do you live, if I may ask? Sometimes, the group can help find a rheumy in your area. I wish you luck finding a doctor, and the new year brings you better times, Tawny > > hi tawny.. i wish i could find a good rheumy .. we are in short supply around here.. no one is taking new patients and some accept limited insurance types.
