Update on How Everything is going!

Hi All my Friends.

This morning, I had the HRCT for my lungs, I don't know why technician was looking for a Blood in My Lungs, instead he was supposed to be looking to see if PF has progressed...I asked him, will you be able to see if disease progressed, he said we did get a clear view of your lungs....

On Friday, my hand swelled, was numb, couldn't feel it etc...made an urgent appointment to see my Rheumatologist today after the scan, took photos of my hand on cell and showed them to her this morning, because I knew by the time I will see her my hand would be back to normal size. I have to e-mail the pictures to her of hand...once I get to know how to do it, I'll post them on the group.

I was prescribed Prednisone 20mg to take for 3 days, each time it happens. I told my dr's today...I don't like a bit that I have to go on Pred.

The diagnosis: RS3PE in translation it means "Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema"

Pictures are very gross to look at:
