Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I may not post allot on here, but I do read and have learned more about my RA and Fibro since I joined than I have in the past two years since I was diagnosed. Reading your stories is like reading so much of my own life, I do have a couple questions that are still unanswered for me however. I have rods in my left knee from a bad car accident four years ago. Lately it has been bothering more that usual. More flare ups, more stress when full weight is applied, some, but not a lot of swelling, and an icy cold feeling. The pain slowly spreads to my hips. The only thing that seems to help at all is oxycontin and a steaming hot bath, and even that is minimal. My other question is being exhausted all of the time. I drive to work planning my nap for when I get home, and I drive home counting how many hours I am gonna get of sleep that night. Last night I slept 14 hours, and still could not barely get up for work. Once I was there all I wanted to do was hide in my office so I could sneak some sleep in. Totally both physically and mentally exhausted. On my days off like tomorrow and Tuesday I do the chemo and then sleep. Even chemo has never affected me like this before. oh and I still have the sores in my mouth, So how do I know what is causing what, which doctor to see?? General Practice, oncologist or Rheumy Any help would be appreciated. Vicki Iowa \\\\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
