My Neuro called this morning right before I was leaving to have my pacemaker checked.

She said my blood work came back good on everything regarding my kidney funtions.

She also ran a ton of other test even checking for Lupus and it was all good.

She said my results for rheumatiod arthritis were not good and the RA came back very high. I was shocked. She is faxing it to my PCP and wants me to see a rheumatologist. I will see what my PCP thinks.

I think it might be a false positive since my thighs and knees are so screwed up from the Zocor. I can't have anything else wrong with me, it would just be too ridiculous!

I'm going for naptime, it's been a long day for me. I am very relieved that I do not have any kidney damage. It will just take time for me to heal.

Wow Becky! Glad you are going to see the doc and have all your ducks in a row...high RA factor...that's not good. I suppose they will run that test again in a couple of months when the inflammation subsides. Just a guess but it wouldn't hurt to go see the Rheumy just in case.

Wishing you well!

Cheryl,

Thank you!

I am so tired of looking different ailments up to see what they do. Mrsd has been so helpful with the Zocor problem.

I'm going to have my PCP run another RA test in November when I have my physical. I think it very well may be a false positive from the swollen thighs. I will see a Rheumy if she thinks I need to. Good grief, this is getting ridiculous!

Hope you are doing well! I haven't heard anything from Lauren. I may send her a quick one today to see how she is doing. I'll let you know if she answers me.

Hugs,
Becky

No one has heard from Lauren. She tends to do that. Evidently she refused the LP? My sister heard that from her son, Lauren's husband. So, no clue on what's going on. She has a tendency to exclude family.


Yes, I know what you mean about having yet another ailment. MS and Reynauds is enough for me along with all my allergies!
