Hi Janet, and thanks.
I am on meds now that should help with it, he said perhaps that's why I had no clue, it's masking some of it? He did add a med. I'll write to you and tell you everything. Hugs n Luv Debbie |

Hi Debbie,
Sorry to hear about this diagnosis, yes I have both osteo and rheumatoid. If anyone has found anything that they think really helps, I'd love to hear about it. I think the meds I take for it keep the RA in check, but it still creeps on a petty pace. I've just started getting the small skin nodules around my ankles and on my forearms; every so often I get a week or two of flu-like sickness, dreadful night sweats being the most noticeable feature - and I creak like an old boat in the morning...oh, the joys of getting older ![]() Glucosamine sulphate has done nothing for me, unfortunately - but since it costs a bomb, well so what..can't get a scrip for that here, they say they won't prescribe for "unproven" medication. But I took it for a year at least, then noticed not a jot of difference when I stopped. Anyway, just wanted to commiserate, give you a hug, xxx all the best! |

Thanks you all
I have always...walked like a duck so to speak in the mornings...laffs...It's funny, but it's not....but for ages I've been told....if it walks like a duck...it's prolly a duck....laffs As for those lil nodules your talkin about, I've had those on my feet, mainly around the heels, for ages now, but had no idea they were signs of RA. I thought it was odd they were there, heck I even thought about stickin a pin in there n poppin it...I thought it was like a bump under the skin...glad I didn't! They sorta roll when ya touch them. So my thinking is, with the positive ANA when I was a teenagers, and walking like a duck forever in the mornings, and those nodules, this is something ongoing for years now. Now I gotta figure out what to do about it. He said it is terrible in my upper back and shoulders and my left ankle. Funny how an x ray can show the damage... Deb |

Debbie,
I was sorry to hear that you had RA. That is such a rough one. So far I got skipped over that one. IT's a Miracle for me. Nothing else seems to pass me up. There are some meds out there now to help with it though, I know because my last Caregiver has it and she is on them. Hopefully they will help you with your pain. I went to school with 2 cousins that had it. Betty had it so bad that her fingers were so curled at the age of 10 and 11. She had some surgeries done on her hands when she was in her 30's to help with it but her fingers are still curled and she has braces on them. I'm glad yours didn't effect you too much back then. God willing you will not suffer too much with it now. As I said it is a rough one. I have those nodules on my fingers and I had a nurse tell me that it was RA but I have tested negative for it. I have had blood workup and bone density test to check on my bones and they are ok. Again another miracle for me. LOL I hope you do ok and keep your faith and try not to get really stressed over this. I know it's worries you but stress makes everything else worse. Ada |
