tired of being frustrated

[Guest guest]

I am soo tired of being frustrated. today it took a half an hour to

get up and get my daughter a PB & J sandwich....i am soo stiff and sore

today i cannot stand it.

Tomorrow i go to the doctors that i have been waiting to see me. The

ones i wanted for my primary care doctors. How do i go in there and

describe these problems to the doctors? i do nto want to just say, i

think i have rheumtoid arthritis.....but i am not sure how to

describe all this to them. What is the word to describe that awful

aching, odd i got to shake my leg while lying in bed feeling that

comes from my feet at night ?? how to make him understand even

though i look fine it takes me 5 to 10 minutes in the am to get up

out of bed (not dressed or anything else, just up)?? how do i not

appear to be that healthy looking person that is looking for

something else but really show the doctor how miserable i am???

on top of it all i have a bad cold, i feel like i got to cough up a

lung, THEN yesterday i went to the dentist and i have 2 teeth that

are worthless either needs pulled or a root canel with caps (which i

cannot afford) plus about 6 more cavities to fill....the dentist

cannot explain why my teeth are rotting at a fast pace. i swear i

look at my teeth one day and then a few days later there is a big

hole........they just rot away at a speedy rate.

i had my blood drawn yesterday from the doc who gave me the lyrica

and did the nerve study test thing...... i noticed there was no RA

labs. do you think he is not looking that direction??? he ordered a

cmp, cbc, lyme, lupus, folic acid, b12 level and ana...i do not think

i have the lupus symptoms as much as RA symptoms. why wouldn't he do

other test too?

anyway i am griping enough....any advice for the doctor would be

great !!!!
