- I participated in the Jingle IN July which is a Christmas-themed 5K run/walk hosted in North Pole, Alaska. Proceeds go to the Arthritis Foundation for research. I totally walked it. I only run when chased. I was proud to participate and I met...
- So I've gone to visit a naturopath. I love my rheumy, I hate the army medical system, and I wasn't really moving forward the way I wanted. Then I got sick and had to stop the methotrexate. Since the doc heard a heart murmur a couple of weeks ago,...
- A random venting because this forum understands in ways no one else I know can. So I got sick with some sort of plague a couple of weeks ago. The doc I saw because my primary doc had moved away was the rear end of a donkey. He "prescribed" sudafed...
- So I am down with a cold or something. I say something because I have been out in bed for a couple of days now. It feels more like sinusitis - my is miserable. Everything hurts which might not be part of the sick, or it might be...So I got to...
- And not just by a rheumatologist either!My daughter had a serious flare in January. It screamed JRA at me and we started taking her to the doctor to be seen. Th ey kept sending her for tests and doing nothing about how she felt. It took three...
- I've started reacting badly to Tramadol. I don't take it very often - in fact, I almost never take it anymore with the mtx/naprosyn combo. The first time I noticed something weird, I had cold sweats and felt the need to lie down to control nausea...
- I like mine. My quarterly visit was today. I have to say that where I am now when compared to where I was before I saw him - I'm just thrilled. I am not pain free, and I still have to do workaround and be careful not to overdo things, but I am...
- My daughter has been fighting painful bouts of costochondritis for a couple of years. Last year her wrist hurt and it was decided that it was sprained even though there was no injury or trauma involved at all. Physical therapy the whole nine...
- I've had issues for year and wasn't officially diagnosed with anything until just this last fall. There's always a flare around the middle of December and usually coincides with diseased activity spreading. It happened again this year despite being...
- I am a musician. I am not primarily a vocalist, but I vocalize a fair amount As a pianist, I have sat in hundreds of lessons so I also feel pretty sure that I approach it properly. Typically I have been fairly proud of my voice. I'm a music...
- So I'm trying to heal from a severe sprain 3 months ago. Still. The ankle still has areas of swelling in it. The MRI showed a completely torn ligament, sprains in other ligaments on both sides of the ankle and an stage I osteochondral lesion on...
- I have no idea who to see next...So my right ankle is completely a mess and I am under the care of a foot&ankle specializing orthopedic surgeon. I am currently in a cast and I'm supposed to be partially weight-bearing as we see if this conservative...
- So in addition to my issues, I fell in early January and did major damamge to my ankle. SoC involves some time in a cast, some PT, then when that doesn't work - surgery with a long recorvery period of no weight bearing. And we move to Alaska at...
- Like so many others, I am very frustrated with my doctor. She's a PA assigned to me through the military medical system. She doesn't hear me. Unlike so many others that have had trouble getting a fibro diagnosis, she jumped on that possibility...
- I have been dx'ed with fibro for two years. I am still not entirely convinced that it is fibro, although I am sure it could be fibro and something else. I have a nice little cluster of symptoms that (while there are some in common with) very...
