Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Kathy, Squat down-what a concept! Haven't done that in a long time. Today, I went to a new asthma doctor, handed him my 4 pages of operations etc for the past 8 years, filled out lots of forms, need to get my test results from other hospitals. He changed my meds a bit and did a pulmonary function test, but he isn't even convinced I have asthma-well if it's not asthma, don't know what else. I told him that I take one ailment at a time and now it is my lungs turn! Temple 3 Fox Haven Way Chelmsford, MA 01824 dat2352@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Hi , Well, I am a daycare provider, so one of my kids that I take care of contracted a coxsackie virus. Kids normally get it here in Oregon this time of the year, due to swimming in public pools. Well, kids get it, and dont get that sick, but when adults get it, they sometimes get very ill, like I have. My Dr says that it has gone into my large joints, and since I have RA, it has increased the pain alot. LOL, hes not kidding on that one! I talked to my Rheumy last night, told him how bad I was getting, so he wants me to increase my predisone for a few days, and if that does not help, he will have to try something else. I just dont know......I do believe my Drs that this virus has made me worst, but Im scared I wont get better. I mean, I cant walk! Its scarry. I feel as if my legs are being totally crushed when I stand up, and when just sitting they hurt very, very bad, like very severe burning, and grinding pain. I am now on percocette, which is not helping very much. Thanks for listening. Hugzzz, in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 , I'm so sorry you are going through this pain with the virus. Hopefully it will run it's course soon, or they will find a way to eradicate it.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Dear , I am sorry that you are feeling so bad and I hope that relief is in site. My husband worked in the schools for about 15 years and I don't know how he didn't stay sick. Every time my granddaughter gets the sniffles, I end up with a cold and then a sinus infection. I guess you build up immunities. It sounds as though you are having a lot of pain and I hope the medicine will help you get some rest. What is this virus? Is it related to chicken pox? Rest well.
