new symptoms

[Guest guest]

Hi my Dear Family,

Well, it seems that the only time I get on line is when I have problems. But

please know that I think of you all often and try to read as often as my

condition allows.

Right now, we are in the midst of getting ready for my middle daughters

graduation from high school. Due to her limitations (she has cerebral palsy

with

some mental challenges) she will be going to vocational school and coming back

to her old high school in the afternoons for more hlp n her scholastic

subjects. On July 9, my oldest daughter is getting married. What is left of

the

family will be coming to Florida for the wedding. It is going to be a very

small wedding but elegant. Vickie will be married in our home church and then

we

will go down to the beach for the reception. The man she is marrying is very

nice and rounds out the family nicely at this time. Unfortunately, I won't be

able to " walk " her down the aisle, but the girls keep telling me that as long

as I am there, they will take me anyway they can.

They have temporarily taken we off my antibiotics to " see " what happens and

last Saturday night, I started running a temp of 104. Once again, my brain was

affected, recognized my family, but could not remember my address and other

things. As we were about to go to the ER, my temp broke and it was as though

it never happened.

Brain activity and other functions were the same as before, but started to

have symptoms of a bladder infection. Called the nephrologist on Monday and

they did a culture and started me on Bactrim. I am now experiencing numbness in

my feet and hands and my blood sugar won't drop below the 200's. Called the

ortho and he didn't think it was related to my knee. I will call the

nephrologist on Monday but I am pretty scared with these new symptoms and wonder

where

or when this will stop. The ortho still wants to put a rod in my knee/leg for

stability. I am not too keen on any surgery at all at this time. I am still

not on any disease modifying drugs at this time.. Just me and my prednisone

! Throw in a few pain pills and muscle relaxants and that about sums up my

life.

I thank God each and every day for my wonderful daughters and the help they

provide me physically and emotionally. I also thank God for all of you and

pray that your pain is manageable and that you are all blessed with supportive

friends and family.

Gentle, tender angel hugs to one and all,

Hey Debs, glad to see you posting!!!!

I'm so sorry that your health is so poorly, and you are having so

much problems. I wish the doctors could do something to get you

feeling better.

Are you thinking about taking some different meds for your RA? I

think it would be a wise choice, get you moving again. The Humira

and Methotrexate is beginning to help me. I do have a bad leg, and

hope to find out what's going on with it.

Wow, congratulations on your girls!!!!! I know you are so excited,

they sure do grow up fast. Let us know how it all goes, and get some

pics. I will keep you in my prayers, Deb.

Hugs, Tawny

glad to hear from you debs, sorry you have been feeling bad again. don't you

hate it when they mess with your meds? i've been sick with a sinus infection

for the last week after fighting a flare since the beginning of the year. today

i almost picked a fight with 2 neighbors. came home called the dr and found

out it was from the meds they gave me. makes me feel so much better. i was

beating on my neighbors door this morning to move their car from in front of my

house. i chewed all my fingernails off and got 3 infections on my fingers now.

my eyes and nose ran for 4 days and my face is so raw. i went to work frday

long enough to hear my boss say ok, you're not faking. i think of you all often

Debs, I'm really sorry the news isn't better. I wish your local physicians

could put everything together and give you some better solutions than they

have been. This has been going on for so damn long.

That's exciting news about the graduation and wedding. Congratulations!

I pray you'll feel well enough to enjoy them both.

I'll tell you where to go!

Debs- Good to hear from you. I think of you often and it is good to see you

are posting again. Big hugs. Congrats on upcoming graduation and wedding.

How could your daughters be anything but blessed with you as their mom. Hang

in there. Take care.

Hi everyone!

This may be a Fibromyalgia question..it's a symptom

I've probably had in the past but not in quite some

time. My right arm is really sore today (I did some

things yesterday to help my mom as a surprise that's

an absolute no no on my limitations from my doctor).

I used the leafblower and then a shovel to bag a few

leaves for about a half hour. Today my right arm is

really sore, can barely lift it to and when I do

straighten it out its really trembling and shaky.

I've been very sedentary the past year. I used to

walk on the treadmill atleast 10 minutes a day at a

slow pace if I could manage it, and I would sit and do

2 lb handweights. I'm sure my muscles are in very bad

shape and that I just overused it.

My second question is: I have bilateral joint

effusions on the knee and that seems to be the major

source of my early RA stages at the moment. My right

one is in a bad flare (a few months ago it was the

left one). I've been having trouble in the morning

with the side of my right foot being really sore.

It's been very painful to walk and both feet have been

really sore. Anyone ever have this happen? Or have

any idea if the rheumatologist can help?

Thanks so much for all of your input! I learn so much

here from all of you! I keep everyone in my prayers

that one day we are closer to cures! And I repeat the

mantra " Pain is weakness leaving the body " and " this

too shall pass " even though I feel like a herd of

elephants ran me over:)

I've been a member of an FMS group for five years and

I have to say that I've learned the most here and have

read the most compassionate, supportive replies and

post and am really thankful to be a member of this

group:) Bless you all:)

I am also having a bad flare in my right foot. it is

constantly swollen & sore. it never seems to stop. the

only thing that seems to help a little bit is to lay

on the floor & prop my foot up on the sofa. of corse

getting up off the floor after being there a while

then turns into a whole other problem.

Bless you & I hope you feel better, & maybe this might

help you a little

Thank you so very much Marie! I will try that! I don't

see the rheumatologist again until December, unless I

can't wait that long and then she will fit me in to

see her. I'm going to print out one of those blank

skeletal drawings I have seen and start marking on the

body where its hurting. So far, the inflammation has

always just been the knees but this month, its wrists,

elbows, a certain finger and even toes..but that foot

has me thrown for a loop since we have to stand and

walk on them:)

This is exactly what would happen with me with my fibro, and it probably

wouldn't even have to wait until the next day to start with the arm

trembling.

I think you will find reading at Dr. 's site TRT: A Recipe for Success and

his HCG update will answer your questions.
