Curiousity question; rheumy visit

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm 58 and was diagnosed at 55. I have OA, fibro and a condition

not yet identified.

I saw my rheumy today, and he told me to go for the balance

studies I neglected in the midst of money problems. More than

osteo is operating here, and my walking has been getting worse

and worse. I can still navigate the NYC subways, but travel is

annoying and painful and getting more so.

On the studies prescription were the words " ataxia gait. " I read

about this some time ago and don't remember anything, and I'm

going from here to Medline and suchlike.

Alan, did your rheumatologist discuss the possibility that your neurological

problems could be the result of your hepatitis C? So sorry to hear that you

are dealing with this.

Not an MD

I'll tell you where to go!
