Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi all, My name is Judi and my husband was recently diagnosed with RA. He has an appt with a rheumatologist in October. So far, Aleve is keeping most of his pain under control. He is starting to get some disfigurement in his toes, which is of great concern to me. He thought for years that it was osteoarthritis and did not see a doctor until the foot pain was so constant that he decided he had better do something about it. I plan to go to the dr. appt with him as there is a good chance I will need the rheumy for psoriatic arthritis. I was told about 10 years ago that I " probably " had it. Have been fortunate to not have had any problems since then other than some aching if my feet get cold. We have both been trying to read as much as possible about RA so that we know what questions to ask. I appreciate being able to be part of this list as I feel that the ones who are dealing with the disease give better advice than doctors who have not lived with the challenges that you face daily.
