Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi all. I've been gone for about 3 weeks now and have thought of you all. Almost 3 weeks ago I found my mom in a diabetic coma (acute diabetic ketone acidosis). She was hospitalized for 9 days total and since then I've been with her at home alot. Boy, was that scary! She is improving but may still lose a kidney. Keep her in your prayers. I missed my appt. with the rheumy when I was at the hospital and can't get another until april 20! I was supposed to start the MTX (after Plaquenil didn't work for me) and am not looking forward to the next month of waiting! I'll be busy with Mom though so it should go by quickly. Hope everyone is doing well and if you're not, you're in my prayers and thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi : You have really been through a lot - I know that the stress from it all must have really caused some problems for you RA-wise. That's awful that you have to wait so long to see your doctor - are you on a list so they can call you if there is any cancellation? I think doctors keep a list like that for those who need to see the doctor as soon as possible. You really do need to get on MTX to see if that will help you. Being in pain and having to take care of your mom must be so hard. Prayers are going out for both of you - take care - Kathe in CA --- eandsspivey <ereese@...> wrote: > Hi all.
