Those red dots?? I started getting them 20 years ago after I came down

with RA. I have asked every doc. They all say they are nothing to worry

about. That's al!!! But then my sister got them and my mom. Since i

know so many women now with them and nothing ever comes of them, I have

crossed them off my list of " things to worry about " " . With me they are

mostly on my lower legs and breasts and upper chests. I truly ignore

them. I think with RA, so many things go wrong that we start thinking

every little thing is a symptom of something bad. Sometimes red dots are

just red dots.

Please try not to worry,Mindy.

Hi

I know your right, I guess it is just because I never had the red dots before

this and like I said (I think I said) They pop up where all that burning

muscle stuff is at.

Maybe it is anxiety bumps...who knows...but if a lot of people have

them...even healthy people I suppose I won't worry about it...LOL I hope I

won't

Thanks

Mindy

Mindy,

How are you doing today?

I've been out of town, had an appt with rheumatologist 90 miles away, and

just got back on the computer yesterday.

Have you gotten either of your doctors to refer you to a rheumatologist yet?

You certainly have a number of disturbing symptoms that need to be

addressed. Do you keep a log of your symptoms that you can take with you

when you see your doctor(s)? I am literally struck dumb when I walk into a

doctor's office. My thoughts drain out of my head and there I stand,

speechless. Bringing a log with me helps enormously. In fact, I was so

frustrated when I finally got in to see the rheumatologist for the first

time that I brought a 3 page narrative with me beginning with when I first

started feeling stiff, then the progression of pain and swelling as it moved

from joint to joint. This is the first time I've done this, but it worked

really well for me. And then the doctor had something in writing from me on

my symptoms for the file. Now I keep an informal log that I print and bring

to my appointments with questions circled that I think of when I'm at home

so I remember to ask them!

Hope you get some answers soon,

Suzanne

Hi Mindy,

That happens to me, yeast in my mouth, with the prednisone. It usually hits

before my period. When this happens I have some meds I dissolve in my mouth

and it makes it go away. It is actually Mycelex 10 MG. I know that sounds

gross but they don't taste bad at all. For me it's worth doing.
