Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 , You have both, Sweetie! Hugs and Luck that is. Don't look at it in a negative way! It is a very good thing that you are going. I am happy the day is tomorrow. Now you and your doctor can begin to take control. Don't forget to take any questions that you have with you. Believe me, if you don't write things down, you will forget some of them. If you have not already make a list and while doing it, think of all of you aches, pains, fatigue, etc. Be as specific as you can with your rheummy. Your input is vital to your treatment. I hope you respond tomorrow evening with a much brighter outlook! HUGS!!!! Shirley -- In , " " <engeorgiadou@...> wrote: > > So here we are my dear friends !

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Good luck!!Definetly write down your questions. I keep a notebook now with different sections including facts, questions and daily notes. I'm not sure about everybody else' experience but you may want to be prepared for some pain afterwards. I left the doctor 's first visit crying because he manipulated all my joints and I felt like I just went thru the ringer. I've only had this for 4 months and it's all new to me and didn't know what to expect at all. I didn't know anyone or have any advice or warnings and I would have like to be a little more prepared. I'm not meaning to be negative b/c good came out of it and the follow ups didn't seem to be as bad. I hope the best 4 you. Paris [ ] 1st visit to rheumy tomorrow So here we are my dear friends !

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Paris: That's exactly right. Write down everything you want to tell the doctor in case you forget. I've also noticed that when I go to the pain doc or the rheumy, I'm gonna hurt when I leave. This appointment I had yesterday, I wasn't expecting it, and I should have been. I mentioned my knee was hurting, and so what does he do? Examine my knee. I was like... Now, what'd you have to go and do that for? It hurt! -- Dodge From acquaintances we conceal our real selves.
