Re: Heidi - Mayo Clinic & miserable day

[Guest guest]

Heidi-

Sorry I am so late in responding to this and your

miserable day message. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester is

ranked #1 in US for rheumatology. They take a group

approach- which means they could see if there is

hormonal link between infertility and RA. I saw Dr.

Colin Berry (OBGYN) regarding fibroids/anemia and

hysterectomy. I had had blood clotting problem and

severe anemia and they were attempting to resolve the

risks and protocol for all of the above. As the RA was

involved- and potentially meds, I was seen by a

rheumatologist. I also saw a thrombo specialist. Tehy

actually talked to one another ! It was a good

experience.Obviously I made it through hysterectomy

safely and anemia is resolved. If you get a rheumatoid

referral ask for Dr. Mason- he is very good - and very

cute. ( Hey if you have to go all that way for something

that miserable- the view may as well be good. ;-)!

As for the little witches of Eastwick- take advantage of

your position as a manager and keep them so damn busy

they won't be able to gossip...you have real motivation

to make them productive- work there tiny little butts

off. I struggle with weight too- and it is particularly

discouraging since so much of it is meds related and

fluid retention. Hang in there sweetie.

If you don't mind I'll refer your baby issue to my mom-

she has prayed more babies in to existence. I am amazed

at how quickly people move up the baby chain once they

make her list.

Hugs,
