Hi to everyone on the list.

I have just joined this list today and am looking forward to the

correspondence with everyone. My name is Judy and I have been having

quite a bit of pain in my foot and recently popped a tendon, which sent

me to see an Orthopedic doctor. He ordered a CAT Scan and Rheumatoid

blood test and he seems to think the pain I am experiencing in my foot

and the rest of my body is Rheumatoid Arthritis. I see a Rheumatologist

for the first time on August 14th. I had a physical the end of June

which was not too good. My liver count is high and so is my total

cholesterol and I have to do a repeat blood test this Friday to check for

Hepatitis. I'm not feeling especially upbeat right now. I have also

been dealing with Fibromyalgia since 1983. Didn't even had the name for

it back then.

I am married to a great guy. He is so supportive and understanding. I

don't know how anyone can understand this, but he sure stands by me.

We've been married 15 years and he is my second husband. We don't have

any children together, but I have a daughter, son, granddaughter and

grandson. My children are good to me, but don't see where there's that

much going on with me. The old " if they can't see it, it doesn't exist "

thing.

Oh well, I guess that's enough for now. I've had several surgeries years

ago on both hands for Carpal Tunnel and Arthritic joints and can only use

the index finger on my left hand (yes, I am left handed) to type. I'm

looking forward to your messages.

Judy
