Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 My name is Tina. I'm a 38 yr. old mom of 3. Just diagnosed today with RA. I'm scared sh*tless. Crying all day. Where do I begin? I have a million questions. My PCP said she recommends just keeping me on 3 aspirin 3 X a day that she suggested today as the Aleve hasn't been doing the trick. But shouldn't I get my ass to an RA Doc ASAP?! I've got damn good insurance and intend to make good use of it! In the past 2 months out of no where I've started having lung problems too. I got an upper resp. infection in mid May, mild but the cough has been lingering for 2 months and refuses to go away!!! Now I've got a bad rash on my hands and feet. I stumped the Doc's for 3 days on that....untill the blood tests came back. Now we know why my hands have been aching so badly for months. And my feet before that, although I do have fallen arches to help with the foot pain. Unsure if the RA is why my hips hurt too, because chairs we sit in at work suck REAL BAD. We're fighting for new ones. So should I call my PCP in the AM and ask for the name of a go RA Dr.?? I'm thinking YES!!! This is my LIFE here! My husband and I want to adopt a baby girl from China and I want to be able to raise her and be her Mom! Not a suffering crying ball of pain! Also if there is anyone out there in New Hampshire that knows of a support group please e-mail me the info. Thanks! ~Tina~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
