Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 , In almost every article I've read about RA, it mentions injury as a possible cause. It is well documented that an injured joint is more prone to arthritis. In most cases, they are referring to osteoarthritis, but it has been linked to RA as well. My problems started after an auto accident, but I believe the botched arthroscopy procedure is what caused the RA. Good luck with your study drug. I hope it helps you. Let us know how it goes. a ----- Original Message ----- From: Valued Compaq Customer <ruf-caimi@...> < egroups> Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2000 6:51 AM Subject: [ ] accident > Hi , > I am just reading some of the post on how we get Ra.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 Hi . You bring up a good point about injury/accidents preceding RA. I've often wondered my self. I got sick with my yet-to-be-diagnosed ailment after I received a hepatitis injection, just prior to having my wisdom teeth removed. I often wonder if those events had anything to do with me getting sick (ie: bacteria, micro-organisms..) Good luck with your drug study.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 , I keep hearing more and more about young girls having very serious reactions just after getting a hepatitis injection. I feel like I should try and let people know about it, although I do not know what good it would do. Take care, Donna Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2000 Report Share Posted June 10, 2000 Donna Marie, I feel the same way. My parent just got the Lymes shot, and I cringe. I've heard of to many reactions to both Lymes and Hepititis. Unless someone is in the high risk group, I wouldn't think they are necessary, but that is just my opinion. We all have to do what is right for us. a ----- Original Message ----- From: <donnam26@...> < egroups> Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2000 10:59 PM Subject: [ ] Re: accident > , > > I keep hearing more and more about young girls having very serious > reactions just after getting a hepatitis injection.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 , What a scary time you had! I'm so happy that you are safe and that you aren't worse this morning. Please rest up and give your body and soul time to get over the shock of it all. ----- Original Message ----- From: " " <linda@...> " " < egroups> Sent: Monday, July 24, 2000 10:44 AM Subject: [ ] re: accident > Hi everyone, > > Thanks for all of your good wishes and prayers.
