Good Morning Everyone,

I'm really glad to introduce to you. At last I have another Aussie on our team! I've mentioned our group to quite a few people in Oz who have autoimmune but it seems we are backward as a nation in not taking to the internet to get the support we need. So I'm really pleased to see that has taken my advice to contact you.

I met at Hunter Hospital in Newcastle. We are both under the same autoimmune specialist there. We just got talking about the autoimmune drug we were both experimenting with - Myfortic. I've had great results from it, but unfortunately hasn't. I suggested she contact this group for support. I know you guys will welcome her and give her advice where she needs it. She's very brave in experimenting with internet as she has confessed that she isn't very computer savvy, but I know we've all been there in the past. I'll leave her to tell you her autoimmune story.

Welcome , I hope you find this group as friendly, supportive and understanding as I have.

(((Hugs)))

Kathy,

I didn't see 's post either. I just assumed it hadn't arrived at my computer yet. , how did you get the post? Is it just on our website? I just gave the autoimmune-ills address to use. I thought that by giving her this in an e-mail it would make it easier for a new computer user to log onto our site. Have I done this wrong? I hope it all goes smoothly for her. I remember how difficult it was for me when I didn't know anyone who understood my medical condition in day to day life.

(((Hugs)))

Well....welcome to our group! I know that when I started on the group I knew next to nothing about computers, so Robyn is right...we've all been there.

I'm Kathy, a 52 year old RN, no longer able to work. I live in Pennsylvania. So far my diagnosis' are: migraine, chronic dacryoadenitis, chronic sinusitis, hashimoto's thyroiditis/hypothyroid, asthma, IBS, bursitis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I think that's everything...anyway, it's more than enough. My daughter Kayly is also a member of the group.

Kathy,

I noticed your bursitis diagnosis for the first time. Any advice about my elbow? It's back to bursitis now; cellulitis is gone. Doc gave me a Rx for Levaquin today - just to keep & get filled if it looks like cellulitis is starting again. He also said "we're going to end up having to cut it out". My only question was how will we know it's time & he said I'd know. I told him it would be a long time. So what should I expect? I have no pain now, just a big lumpy elbow. Doc says there's scarring in it. Anything I can do besides ice?

Robyn,

When someone wants to join the group, the moderator & co-moderators get a message from Yahoo asking someone to approve or deny membership. I guess I read the message first. included information about herself & her reasons for wanting to join, so I approved her & sent her a welcome (cc to the list).

Robyn, you did everything right. I'm so glad you told about us.

Thanks . I just feel so glad to have another Oz member on the list. It will make for some interesting conversations and comparisons. I know when you guys talk about American perspectives I find it interesting. Hopefully as and I add to e-mails you will learn some Australian perspectives. I'm really glad you are part of the group .

I don't remember to list the bursitis unless it's acting up at the time, LOL. I've had it off and on for years...usually my hips...primarily the left one, or the elbows. I've also had it in the shoulder. Right now my left elbow is acting up. The only things I've ever had done by the Doc is antiinflamatories..which I'm on all the time now anyway, and years ago a steroid injection. If this elbow doesn't soon clear up I guess I'll haul my butt to the Doc and most likely do the injection. This time it's been going on for over a month.

I've used heat and I've used ice, and the other day I tried one of the new Ben-Gay patches. That worked pretty well, actually...at least held it at bay for 12 hours which was a great relief. It just makes me wonder what this would feel like if I weren't on antiinflamatories and narcotics, though.

Sorry I'm not more help.
