Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi everyone, My test results were negative for RA and a thyroid disorder. This is good, but the problems are getting worse. The tips of my fingers are increasing in being very cold...the muscles of my arms and legs, especially my arms feel like they are on fire. I feel numbness and tingleing in my arms and hands...alotI still have the joint pain...I went to the store 2 days ago and the side of my foot up to my big toe was excruitiating...that night I found a lump...very painful with red streak on it...no bruising...the red is gone but it is still tender to touch my legs and arms just feel very weak. I don't know were to go from here. I keep telling myself it is all in my head..but then my fingers start swelling and are stiff and painful and my toes hurt..etc...and I know it isn't.I have a lump I am swollen on my wrist bone... The worst still is my son has pnuemonia.: ( He is pretty sick...it is in his left lung but since he has a breathing machine at home they didn't put him in the hospital...his temps have been 103 steady since Monday.Poor guy. I feel dicouraged and I have no clue what is wrong with me...I guess I will just keep saying it is all in my head and get on with it. What does it mean if when I take a hot shower my arms and legs feel even worse...weak...like I can't even wash my hair? I hope everyone is having the best day they can.. : ) Hugs, Mindy P.S...Can I stay here even though I am Ra negative? I would miss all of you and the eternal optimism you all have...: ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
