Back from the Reumy - add Fibro to the mix

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

Went to the rheumy last week and now we can add fibro to the mix.

Unbelievable. The good news is that the humira is working on the RA,

and the swelling in the joints has gone down. I asked why I am still

hurting and she pushed on the triggers and said Fibromyalgia.

Since Thursday, I have started on Neurontin, which has helped with

the pain somewhat. I can say that I feel better than I have in 5

months, so that is good. It's weird, but it's kind of scary to feel

better. I am wondering if I will still feel good once I get up

tomorrow or will all the pain be back?? I am not pain free by any

means, but finally have some relief.

June - I am so sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I

could say that would make you feel better, but I lost a dear friend 6

years ago and I know what it is like. Please be good to yourself

during this difficult time. You are an inspiration to me the way you

described handling the doctors and the request for pain meds. I will

remember that on the next trip to the doctor.

Peace,

Stacey

Stacey, sorry to hear that you have fibromyalgia, too, but it's very

good news that you are finally getting some relief. I hope you feel even

better very soon.

I'll tell you where to go!

Stacey, sorry to hear you have another dx. It seems like when we go

to the doc, we come out with another one:(

I'm really glad to hear that the Humira is working for you. How long

have you been taking it? Do you take it with MTX? I have been

taking it for a year now, and just recently added the MTX, so hope I

feel a difference soon.

It is kind of scary when you are in less pain. But, just try to enjoy

it, and don't worry about it at the moment. I will keep you in my

prayers, that you will have more days with less pain, Tawny
