Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hello, All!! I'm , and I'm a 44 year old nurse currently living just outside London, England; I am American, however, and married to an Englishman and we are planning on moving back to my hometown of Rochester, NY next year. I have (what seems to me) a strange diagnosis: I have a positive rheumatoid factor, but very few classic symptoms of RA (I have moderate joint pain but no inflammation) and fibromyalgia, and they're half-heartedly working me up for lupus (I have a single blood marker). My current symptoms are: fatigue (sometimes overwhelming), muscle and joint pain, exercise intolerance. I am also diabetic with associated complications: nerve damage in hands and feet, charcot joint syndrome both feet and ankles, kidney failure, and eye damage (i'm legally partially sighted). I also have ovarian cancer----I'm a living mess, huh??? LOL Thankfully the cancer is currently in remission following chemotherapy last year, so fingers crossed. Anyway, the only medication I'm taking currently by way of treatment for the FM/RA is amitriptylline. That's all that's being done for the FM/RA---no adjunct therapies. I'm hoping to make some cyberfriends and learn something and get (and hopefully give) support through this group! Sorry this went on so long!! ___________________________________________________________ All new " The new Interface is stunning in its simplicity and ease of use.
