i'm a bit confused and worried

[Guest guest]

hi guys

i have a provisional dx of ra but my rheumy has told me that

symptoms will arise within 3 months and to see him when (and if)

that happens

when i was originally provisionally dx my dr offered to put me on

prednisone and pain killers but i refused as i didn't really have

much pain (only slight in my fingers probably a 1/10)

so should i be on any drugs if i don't have any pain or anything?

i'm on naturopathic drugs which include a natural antiinflammatory

and fish oils

i don't want to take drugs if i don't have to but then i don't want

to make it worse if i don't take anything

help! i am so so confused

mel

ps i still don't have any pain or anything, i originally went to the

gps as my fingers felt fat and they had been tingling (hasn't

happened again)
