Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 I cam across this site looking for surport for RA. I have Ostieprossis in my disk L4 L5 it is to the point that it has decentared to just a hair hanging on . also I have it in my hips and that bothers me rally bad. I jst found out a few weeks ago that I am in the eary stages of RA. I am 53 now. I have been told off and on that my blood test has shone the factor for Ra in earler years but they said do'nt wory about it is not much really low.I have my tisk for a bout 30 years nows stedlly getting worse.My hands got to the point that they were hurting so much with my wrist that I went back to the doctor and he sent me to a rheumatoid doctor that comfirmed it.I have only seen him one and he gave me some meds and told me to get them refiled thru my reg doctor. he did not like what he gave me so he stoped them said they would hurt me more then help me.I wish I could find a doctor here that would work together.I am taking celabrex and have roxilox for pain when it gets really bad witch I take at night or else I could not sleep.I try to walk as much as I can and have excercises to so .My hubby has heart problems so the diet is really good very low carbs.I know this site will be a great place to get surport and share with friends love to you all, julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Welcome, Deborah, this is a great support group! I always wondered how in person support groups would work because who is well enough or has the energy enough to attend anyway?
