Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 You do understand though Keri. One of the women in my office came to me shortly after her husband developed RA after bypass surgery. She had tears in her eyes, said while she was sympathetic she didn't have a clue what it took for me to go to work in the am until she saw her husband struggle with the same meds and swelling. Didn't catch where in Mich you are from. I am in Saginaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hi Keri, And we're lucky to have you. Besides being a sweet and honest person, you add a perspective that is important to me because you are the wife of someone with RA. I am so glad to hear the appointment is set. I can understand what feels but knowledge is power and early detection and treatment key. A " positive " about having RA and other rheumatic diseases is that your health is closely monitored. Although you definitely get thrown curve balls, things don't tend to sneak up on you like cancers and other illnesses. It's a shame about 's dad, but it's not because he went to the doctor that he got cancer. Fear is irrational though. He should keep in mind that it's his body and it's critical that he knows enough to make as informed a decision as possible. His medical team should be advocates for him, not people to fear. Please keep us updated. You are in our thoughts and proyers. Love and hugs, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
