have yet another dx to add to my list

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Went for my Remicade today. Took my partner with me to help me talk to my

rheumy, who we both like alot. On top of the RA, OA, spinal stenosis, asthma,

diabetes (thanks to prednisone), I now have an official dx of Fibromyalgia.

I explained to him, I don't WANT another dx, but I need to know what is going

on with me.

Don't remember if I posted here or not, but I am having a knee replacement on

11/27. There is no cartliage left, and the bones above and below are necrotic

(again, years of prednisone use).

When the rheumy told me to 'get as much rest as possible'. I laughed. My

partner had to have her ACL reconstructed, and has been in a brace and on

crutches for almost 3 wks. We have 2 special needs kids, one who needs constant

supervision. She has been unable to help much, but is improving and doing more

every day.

Which is good, b/c end of the month we switch roles, and I'll be post op and

she'll be doing everything.
