thanks, my appt is at 300 I am going to lay out my symptoms, tell him it was

suspected I have RA from a previous doctor and see what happens. This is my

first visit with them so it will be a good indicator if I will even like the

doctor I guess.

today was a bad day but I took a hydrocodone the dentist gave me for my

broken tooth and feel a little better tonight....tomorrow my lyrica increase so

that might make a difference too....

wish me luck

Amber,

I so feel for you because I was just where you are now, last week

(does that make sense?). I wasn't sure what to say to my doctor

other than how much pain I was in and how it slowly worsened and

spread. I told her how it began in my feet about a year ago and I

thought I was maybe wearing the wrong shoes(flip flops because we

lived in San Diego at the time)and how it has now spread to my knees

and wrists and hands.

Like you, my pain is much worse in the morning and getting out of

bed is difficult! I dread going down the stairs! I feel like I'm in

my 80's or 90's when I'm actually in my 30's! That's what I told my

doctor and she ordered bloodwork and x-rays and called me a few days

later with the RA diagnosis.

Good luck with your doctor appointment. I'll be thinking about you

tomorrow.

Jodie
