Re: Welcome to the group Betsy

Betsy and group;

 

Awe bless you Betsy,  Welcome to our humble group.  You will learn so much here

as I have.  You're Rheumy will tell you how often to see him/her, however; you

may call and talk to the nurse about coming in early with a problem.

 

My rheumy has always been accommodating when I needed to come on or have a

question about my meds or RA yours should be too. 

 

Gentle hugs

Clora

Good morning all,

My name is Betsy and I would like to introduce myself as a new member.

I have just recently been diagnosed with RA (only 2 weeks ago). I live

on the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. My Rheumatologist

is located in Orlando, Fl but we do have one closer in Puerto Rico. Any

recommendations as to how often I should be seeing a Rheumatologist?

I have millions of questions that I hope I will see answers to here in

the support group, as I am still learning what this is doing to my body

and the signs I can look for to determine if I am flaring up or not.

One major question I have is can this affect my asthma? I had an

epsiode out of the blue last night, and when it was over, my shoulders,

elbows and wrists were killing me (I'm still having trouble today).

Any advice would be welcomed!
