Re: Dx : degenerative joint disease-

[Guest guest]

I'll be interested in what my Rheumy has to say too! I agree, the more that I

read, the more that I think it's only osteo in my back. I've had issues with my

back and neck for years and have spent many hours with chiropractors trying to

resolve it. Sometimes I just think my body is just goinging beserk! I

questioned my rheumy about his dx of Lupus AND Ra, which is supposedly rare, and

he said it is not as rare as it used to be. Just a year ago I went on my merry

way, not knowing much about auto-immune diseases but that all changed quickly.

I am still in denial about having so much go wrong in such a short time, it

doesn't seem possible that all of these diseases came along within weeks of each

other. But, my rheumy said " lab tests tell the story " . Ah well................
