Forgot to mention that I have had some very good news this week. My doctor report came out clean. They had thought that I may have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Praise God it isn't!!!! Only a little localized osteoarthritis and fibromi along with it. But I already knew about the fibro, so that part wasn't a big thing either. I couldn't believe how much they tested in those two vials of blood. They also checked my thyroid, for Lupis, and a bunch of other stuff that had not even crossed my mind. Bottom line is the specialist is getting in touch w/ my primary care doc and suggesting some different and/or additional meds. Sure will be nice to have some of these things under control. Now all I have to do is figure out how to move on with the neck (herniations @ 3 levels & one between shoulders) and the knee that is getting near joint replacement. By this time next year I will be a new Bionic Woman. lol

Thank God you got a good report from the Doctor! But, I\'m very sorry to hear about the herniated disks. I just had one removed/repaired and that\'s what hubby had done to his neck. He\'s still got one in his thoracic and two in the lumbar. Take care of yourself, please. Many hugs, Ann
Dear Lindsay Wagner...oops, sorry, I mean madea7...couldn\'t resist! Finding out your medical profile, and finding out it\'s no worse than what you thought in some cases and better than you thought in others is definitely a relief! Excellent. Will your show be starting before the fall sweeps?
Bionic woman huh, don\'t we wish we really could be. Well I am sure glad you don\'t have RA. Its such a debilitating disease. My brother has it, its awful. I really wish they would find a cure for all this stuff we all have to go through, a simple quick one. Oh what an imagination I have....LOL. Well anyway take care.
