- I know there are probably numerous posts about this, but I am to irritable to try and find them. I have had RA for years and never before experienced this. With this flare up, I am so irritable and super sensitive to other peoples words. I am...
- Happy New Year everyone!I know that I should know the answer to this, but my mind is just not pulling it out. How important is it to take the Prednisone? I would like to just deal with this flare with pain pills. I can deal with the outrageous...
- Yesterday I had an appointment with the Rheumy. The only thing I thought he would do would be to increase the MTX which I wasn't looking forward to, or putting me on the injections. Instead, it took it away completely. I had gotten to the point...
- I am just wondering how many of you do the same silly things I do when out of town company calls and says "Can we come for the weekend?" I almost always answer "Of Course, we would love to have you". Then you over do everything all weekend long,...
- Hi everyone. My PCP had her office call me and they want me to get a flu shot ASAP! I have never had a flu shot, though hubby gets them every year. What do you all think about this? Do you get them? I am really torn about this.Thanks!Kathy
- Went into town this morning to meet hubby for lunch. He wanted to take his rig. So I went to get into his truck. I couldn't do it. Before I was able to grab the hand grips and swing myself up. After trying and trying, my husband helped me get...
- Last week my pain management doctor put me on Gabapentin. I had never heard of it before. Still not sure if I like what is going on or not. Just wondering if any of you have used this. Thanks!God Bless,Kathy
- Good Morning everyone. For the last few years I have not had much feeling in my hands. Neither heat nor cold. Then yesterday, that changed. Two fingers started to burn like crazy and by bed time, they all were burning. I look at them, and see...
- Do any of you ever lose control of your legs. Where they just don't want to support you and you grab on to anything close by or fall? I ran into the grocery store for a couple of items today and standing in line, my legs just quit. I am fairly...
- Lately I have been having a lot of trouble with the sun and windows. They make my eyes hurt and it tends to make me very wobbly. Does anyone else have trouble with this?
- Hi everyone. I am wondering if anyone has used a Tens Unit to help the pain to subside. At my last Rheumy visit, he suggested that I get a Tens Unit to help with my trigger points. I have an area in my left shoulder that when the pain and...
- On Monday I will be seeing my Rheumy again. He will have a plan set out for me at that time of how to proceed. I am curious. What medications do they usually start out with? I would like to read up on them and be a little informed when I am...
- I just answered the phone and it was my DH's doctors office. He had been to the doctor on Monday to get a refill of his Mobic. He has a bad leg from a car accident when he was a teenager. But he had been complaining about hurting all over and it...
- Hello everyone. Hope your day is going well.Last night I was having one of my extra independent days. I HATE asking for help all of the time. Even my 4 year old granddaughter has learned to anticipate my needs and does things before I have to...
- I just received a stack of paperwork from my RD's office that I need to fill out before my appt on Monday. Throughout the forms there seems to be a running thought about money. IF I become eligible for medicaid, I will no longer be able to see...
