Re: Back from the rheumy... It could be seronegative RA

[Guest guest]

So glad that the pain is better. It sounds like your doctor wants to

be pro-active, that's great.

God Bless,

Please some one explain Seronegative RA. Is it when one has symptons

of RA. But not in the blood. I am a little confused about it.

AWWWWW that explains all these years of pain. I had all the signs

since I was 24. I am 54 now. I was only dianosed with RA about

litle over a year ago. I have sufferd. I did find ways to get pain

medication all those years. I was on feornil with codine for many

years from a doctor. Whom later was jailed for over prescribing. Not

by me haaaaaaaaaaa. I would have lied for him in court if he wanted

me too. Cant think of his name right now. Fibro fog.

I thank all doctors who have gave us pain pills. My primary doctor

finally gave me some high dose lor tabs for my headaches. It took a

year almost. Sure I don't blame them for not giving out pain meds.

They could lose their licensed and be jailed.

Thanks
