RA, CTS, COPD, UC...what's next?

[Guest guest]

I've managed my RA pretty well over the past couple years, switching to

Orencia (because my doc thought Enbril and my family history of cardiovascular

disease didn't mix well). I can't say I'm anywhere near normal, but I can live a

relatively normal life.

I manage the COPD with Spiriva, and that seems to work ok (6 months now). But

it's expensive.

I had developed carpal tunnel syndrome and treated that successfully with the

Carpal Therapist. That's done and over with.

I just had a colonoscopy Wednesday (due to occult blood - in stools) and I'm

told it's due to errosive colitis.

Does this stuff end...I'm only (??) 48?! My husband says, bless his heart,

that if it was 1810 instead of 2010 the average life expectency was 43 and I'd

be dead! lol! Lee
