Lynn Honey...wishing you the best next week. I just got out of the

hospital LAST Monday and today my physical therapist told me that my

diagnosis was Trans cerbrel Ischemia(mini stroke essentially).

Funny...they did not tell me that in the hospital. Let us know how

it goes. Rest up this weekend...you might not get rest there. I'm

just now catching up and getting my sleep schedule back on track.

lol. I'll be thinking of you. -Betz

Hey, Audrey

I've been meaning to reply to your post, but I am " Delayed Reaction

Woman " (at least that's my super-hero name . I am also new to the

group. Your experience sounds very similar to mine. I started

having back pain when I was 3 months pregnant (my son is now almost

16 months). My thumb became swollen about 4 months ago (leading to

my diagnosis about a month or so ago). I also have been feeling

extremely tired for a looooong time. Looking back, I can remember

having a bad flare when I was 22 years old (I'm 29 now). I just

didn't know what it was or that other people didn't feel the same way

that I was feeling (I thought that I kept injuring myself and that I

was depressed). Even though I hate being a member of the PA crew, I

am relieved to know what is happening to my body. Suddenly, so much

about my life makes sense. Unfortunately for me, I still am in the

process of trying to get health insurance, so I'm living off of

ibuprofen. I was diagnosed at a hospital after-hours clinic (based

on symptoms), so now I am terrified about the whole " pre-existing

condition " thing and whether or not to volunteer that information.

You can always email me off the list, if you want to talk more.

Hi Audrey,

A late welcome to the group. I'm glad you found us but sorry that you are in

the position that you had to go looking for a group like this. Hopefully you

will feel that you are no longer isolated in having this condition.

Hopefully you will have settled right in by now. We have a great bunch of

lunatic................................sorry people here. lol

Take care,
