- My husband has the flu and has it bad. Waiting on word if he has blood in his stool. So I have been taking care of him and have gotten myself run down in the process. Plus we had our grandson for a week just before my husband got real sick and I was...
- We need to be our own advocate for what we are putting into our bodies. Three months ago we lost our daughter-in-law and did not know why she died until yesterday. She had been on Effexer (venlaflaxine) for depression. The cause of death was...
- Hi, This is the first time that I have had sciatica problems. I have been under a lot of stress with the loss of our daughter-in-law and having to go from warm FL to cold MD. I am now back in FL and am still having problems. Has anyone done any...
- Sat before Thanksgiving we get a call from our son. His 39 year old wife was dead and he was devastated! Needless to say, so were we. No prior warning or anything. She did have fibro but could not get a doctor to treat her for that. She also had...
- After fighting for 2 years, I have been approved for Social Security Disability! Thank you Lord. It took just a few minutes in front of a judge to get it done. Just telling them about my way of life and what happens during a flare is all it took....
- There are times that my feet start to feel numb, especially by the toe area and then the toes feel numb also. Is this part of the RA or is this something else? I see my rheumy on the 12th.
- This morning I am going for a gall bladder ultrasound and tomorrow I see the surgeon. Today was supposed to be the day I got my Orencia infusion but that has been put on hold. I was told I could not get the infusion until 2 weeks after the surgery....
- I have Sjogrens and I also have sleep apnea. I have dealt with dry mouth with the sleep apnea for 10 years now. But add the Sjogrens to the mix and I am miserable at night. I use Biotene rinse and my dentist said to use the Biotene gel at night....
- Well, lately I have been having problems with my breathing. I also have chostachondritis and my ribs are so painful. So my rheumy sent me to a lung specialist who sent me for a CT scan of my chest. This morning I had the CT scan. The young man doing...
- Today was a good visit with the rheumy. I ended up getting 3 cortisone shots in my rib cage for the costachondritis. He said that my bra was causing it to act up. So, sports bra or no bra for the next 3 weeks. Also, will be having a CT scan for the...
- Well, I finally have had enough. Yesterday and today I have had trouble taking a deep breath. My body felt like I needed to take a deep breath, but when I tried, I just couldn't satisfy my body. Very uncomfortable and having a heavy feeling on my...
- My daughter-in-law has Fibro and wants to be tested for RA. I can't remember which blood test does she need to have done? Thanks everyone!Wendy
- I have pain in my rib cage. I have one spot that really hurts when you touch it and also, the pain wakes me up at night if I lay on my right side. Does anyone else have this? I asked my rheumy about this and he had a name for it but I can't remember...
- Is it normal with this disease to be depressed? It seems like things are snowballing for me. With the RA, I now have Sjogrens and am trying to adjust a schedule of eye drops 6 times a day. Plus I have Rosacea and have to put a cream on my face at...
- Most times when I have a doctor appointment, my husband is either working or busy with something else. A couple days ago, he went with me to the eye dr apt and that was a big mistake! I had him take me because they normally dialate my eyes. This...
