- Why would a doctor not prescribe something for pain? What do you get for pain? I can't take NSAIDS but hell if I don't! Yesterday morning I woke up with pain on the right side of my back (kind of like a sprung rib feeling) if that can happen and a...
- Yep, I know, I know....;)I've done a million Google searches, done my research, etc etc but sometimes you just need that special little personal touch you can get from a great group of people like you all to prove you ain't just going crazy! I...
- It's Monday and I feel like hell.I'm self employed and work at home in an office so I guess you can say I am lucky as far as RA and work go. I'm mostly at a desk all day unless I am throwing laundry in the wash or putting dishes in the dishwasher. I...
- Okay, sometimes I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Got a prescription for Pilocarpine for dry mouth/eyes. . Bottle says take 1 pill 3 times a day. Okay....my brain goes to the MTX pills all at once. Doc says take one one Tues, 2 on wed and then...
- Had my doctor appointment yesterday and knew I was going with an earful for my Rheumy to hear. Told him about my feet...hands...pain blah blah blah.....So he had X-rays done of my feet and hands and only a couple of very small spots where erosion...
- I am so freaked out. I had gastric bypass 6 years ago and went from 268 to 150. I stayed at 150 for a couple of years....I got to 145 for a second! Then I had the common "bounce-back" weight gain where my body adjusted to a comfortable 160. I went...
- How do you know when it's time?Hi, new to the forum.I been married to my husband 26 years this April. We were married very young, he was 18 and I 24. Mental health issues ran rampant in his family but I never knew enough about them. I knew sister...
- Another thread got me thinking.You think young new doctors (RA) have one up on the old one's? Do you think they are thirstier as far as learning and trying newer treatments than say an older doctor?My doctor is definitely old school (so far) as he...
- I have to ask. It's almost one of those things where you know it has but you just can't put a finger on it. What prompted me to really think about it was the way my husband likes to tease me. My big tease now is the whole selling of my horse deal....
- I told the doctor about being nauseous every morning even before the MTX treatment was started. He said no coffee, OJ or smoking. I don't smoke or drink OJ. So I cut coffee out and started drinking green and black tea, decaf. The nausea went away....
- AMAZING!Okay, maybe not so much. More of a fluke. Sunday night and Monday night I had horrible cramps/aches in my calves and thighs at night and in the morning. I felt like I needed to take my muscles out and stretch them like taffy! Anyone get...
- I came across this article and it really helped me understand the "Why" of why I feel a certain way quite often. Also tells me I need to talk to my doctor about feeling like this much of the time. Problem is I always feel at my best when I see him...
- Last January 2015 when all these crazy symptoms started showing up, I had no idea what was going on. As months passed it got worse. Finally August I was given the RF test and it was positive. By September I was experiencing my first flare, and at...
- My Doc appointment is Tuesday but I was finally able to print up my test from the Labcorp site.My last RA Factor was late August and was 30. My sed rate was normal. My Ccp test came back >250 which was high and that test was done Monday. My sed...
- I been experiencing something completely new. Since last Sunday I have had horrible sleep. I seem to wake up every hour in pain. I think it stems from moving while sleeping which causes pain all over. Every muscle hurts, hands, feet, neck.....you...
