I am Back

[Guest guest]

My name is

I am now 40, mother of 2 married over 20 years.

I was with the group the beginning of this year. My computer was

acting up and I didn't know from day to day if it was going to work

again. So I left the group. Now I am back. New computer.

Since I left. I found a good Rhumitologist. Probably spelled wrong. I

have been diagnosed with Fibro, arthritis and a torn rotator cup in

my shoulder.

I have to tell you, until I saw this new doctor. My emotions where

really running wild. I knew I was in pain. My family doctor said it

was fibro. Another doctor did no test, said " yeah you probably have

it " . She earned that $180. from my insurance that day. Grrrr

My family is telling me its all in my head. And Fibro is just an

excuse....etc. And we are not even going to talk about my job and

their way they treat me over this. I was daulting myself.

My NEW doctor read the X-rays in front of me. My right shoulder is

SOOO full of arthritis, you could JUST see some of the out line of

the bone. Not even the whole shoulder. And my hip and knee and lower

back. Polluted.

My first thought was I am not crazy. That's why I hurt so bad.

Now knowing what I have makes it easier to deal with. You know,

putting a name on it. So now I started new meds.

And I am working on getting an MRI for the torn cup in my shoulder.

Didn't make it threw the first MRI, my lower back with out 20 minutes

in. I guess you can say I flunked the MRI test.

Does anyone else have trouble getting MRI's? And how do you make it

threw?

Sorry for gabbing away.

Just wanted to say Hi! I am glad I came back to the group

Take care
