Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi There, I saw where you asked if anyone had this RA hit them overnight. Yes, I did. I went to bed one night in Nov.2002 feeling pretty good. Had a few aches but thought nothing of it cause I have OA in my knees and DDD in my back. The next morning I couldn't get out of bed hardly. I had to drag myself to the bathroom bent over cause I couldn't straighten up. My Mother had to do everything for me. I couldn't do anything. I lost 10 pounds in two weeks. A heck of a way to have to lose weight. LOL! My doctor did finally bloodwork and it came back that I had RA. I had to live with just taking prednisone and pain pills till I was able to see a RA doctor. Wasn't able to see one for about 14 months or so. They finally got me hooked up with a program that where doctors gave of their time freely. I am on disability now. Took about two and half years to finally get it,but now on Medicare. Just try and hang in there. May you have a Blessed week. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
