Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Dear Carol I am so relieved to hear that our Debs is doing better. At 9:00 last night I felt moved to tears and I knew that if our prayers counted, she would be better today. I'm with ya'll again this evening. The rheumy called it spondyloarthropathies or inflammatory arthritis without a final decision until we see how I respond to DMARD's. The inflammation in my ankles, knees and hands is not there all of the time however the pain is. I still believe that it started at 15 when I had fever and swelling in my ankles and general flu-like symptoms. The only actual proof is the swelling and the 30 years of symptoms, tender points, encroachment upon nerves, and all of the osteo changes. I know that there are several members who do not react to any of the blood tests and what I want to know is how do you make your family understand when you can't give them this actual proof. It is so frustrating when you want reasons and explanations. Tess...Thanks for the information. I think needs to go as soon as his insurance takes effect. Have a great evening!
