Another weird sympton...newly diagnosed

[Guest guest]

I went to my GP this week (I'm still waiting for March

6th to see the rheumatologist....and I have another problem.

I have no idea if this is related to anything with EBV or

RA.

Actually my physician is stumped as well. I have sort of

an eczema around the outside of my nipple. My breasts are

extremelly sore/sensitive, however, no discharge. Now I have

to wait another month to see an infectious disease doctor.

He thinks it's a fungus! Never had this until 10 days ago.

Is this something related to EBV or RA?

I have taken off this month (JAN) as sick from work..I have

been struggling for two months trying to work and not know

what is wrong with me. Plus my father died two months ago

and just had to force my mother into a nursing home who

has now disowned me. So...as they say....when it rains it

pours!

I am glad to find this group to ask questions. I

appreciate 's research albeit it's over my head most of

the time. I have tried to read everything I can about

RA but this unless you are a clinician, it's difficult to

interpret.

I do have one more question, my doctor wants me to go on

antidepressants. Do most of you take this as well?

Thanks for your help. Betts in VA

Bless your heart Betty. You have really been going through it. I had blood

come out one of my nipples and it scared me to death. I just knew I had

cancer. I went through all the tests and waited and waited and what had

happened was a blood vessel broke in the top of my breast and the only way the

blood could come out was through my nipple. I'm telling you this so you won't

get too upset while you are waiting to get to see your DR. Sometimes it's

nothing at all. Yes, I've been on depression medicine for a long time. I take

Lexapro. It will take a few months to kick in though. I know what you mean

about the research, It's hard for me to understand as well but I do thank

for sending it all through for those that do understand it. Take tender gentle

care of yourself and you will be in my fervent prayers. Tender Hugs, Bonnie

To the world you may be one person,

to one person you may be the world!

I found my birth daughter,
