Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yes I am seeing an RA and I really like her. I am asking about DMARDS when I go back which is Monday. 6 weeks ago at my last visit she reviewed my xray and showed me where I had calcium deposits in my arota. She has run some new blood tests on me as well as an ultrasound checking for heart disease and I will be finding out the results on monday. I am thinking this is the reason she is waiting. Question....does anyone out there have heart disease as well ?? My grandmother passed at 62 from heart disease and had RA and my Mother passed at 62 from heart disease and now that I look back possibly had RA as well...I am 42 and will find out Monday, wish me luck... ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Heart disease runs in my family but those members did not have RA. I have arrythmia, palpitations, MPV, and an enlarged ventricle. But my rheumatologist started me on DMARDS right away, once I responded to the prednisone. <kmitch1966@...> wrote: Yes I am seeing an RA and I really like her.
