Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 hello all, I am once again in a place, where I am wondering, wether or not the Dr, made the right diagnosis. Recently, I got to talk to m y sister in Germany and she mentioned that her symproms were similar to mine. I asked her to go to the Dr. and have herself checked out. Her results came back with the following wording: She certainly has a proclivity towards RA, but that she could treat it with OTC and most likely be fine. When I was diagnosed 6 years ago, my rheumatologist told me that I have a mild form of the illness. And, so far that has held true. The only thing that has gotten worse are the flare-ups. They are more painful, but not more frequent. When I read all of your postings I start to feel guilty, because I certainly do not suffer like any of you. My flare ups are usually short , and the rest of the time, my pain is managable. Have any of you ever heard anybody else discribed as having a predisposition towards RA? i hope this makes sense. We have the grandson over for the weekend, I am pooped and ready for a break. So, I give myself time to think and figure things out a bit. Thanks!
