Subject: How long is too long?

[Guest guest]

Hi Susie,

I’m not too sure how long is too long as far as joint swelling is concerned

but when I was first diagnosed I had major swelling in my joints for about 4

months, especially toes, fingers and wrists. I couldn’t wear closed shoes

and my rings were permanently on a chain around my neck as they wouldn’t

even go on my pinkie finger. The swelling started to go down when the Pred

kicked in but I often have swelling in my fingers and toes.

Susie I was so sad for you and very angry (with Dr Stupid!) reading your

story of how your MS was diagnosed. I can’t believe any doctor could be so

insensitive and cruel. Thank goodness you’ve found good doctor’s now and

have a diagnosis.

I think it’s wonderful that you are starting a support group though – go

girl! It’s a wonderful positive way to keep yourself informed and supported

and also help others.

I hope you are feeling a little better.

(((((((((((((((Big Hugs))))))))))))))))

Heidi
