Re: Results from 1st visit to rheummy

Sorry to hear the news that we felt was coming. You are having the

same overwhelmedreaction that most of us felt. Try to give your mind

a rest and let it settle, if you can. Arm yourself with all the info

possible and try to stay positive. Stress is not your friend.

It does sound like your doctor is trying to help you. Remission is

achievable, I pray that you will get started on the right meds for

you and your life will have some normalcy again.

Hugs,

Shirley
