dear mtncat,

i read your post, and it just broke my heart. we have all been thru what

you are going thru. terrible pain, and the so called medical experts not

having a clue. don't you live in lexington or there abouts? there is a

member of the group who lives in cinc. that wrote me personally about

her dr. i think it is joanne? maybe she can give you her drs name,

it took me going to ohio state before i found a dr who could help me.

my mom had ra and osteo for years. i am 37 and when i was in high

school i remember her having trouble with pain. and do you know

that about 7 yrs ago, a dr actually said she didn't have arthritis! she

looked at him like he was crazy. unfortunately, the osteoporosis was

more painful for her than the arthritis.

i know how tiresome it gets going to dr after dr, but unfortunately this

is a hit or miss disease. my dermatologist is actually been better for

me than any rheumie i ever saw. he knows more about the whole disease

and even does research. he is the only one i go to now.

i know i haven't offered any solutions but please know you are in my prayers

and you have my support.
