If it's bothering you, don't be afraid to tell your doctor about your symptoms. The worst that he or she can tell you is that you are imagining things or making them up and then you are right back where you started. The best thing that you can do for yourself is take an agressive stance for your health. Hi! Well, my doctor took me seriously, but it takes weeks, sometimes months to get into see a specialist. I battled with the chiropractor that I was seeing for 8 months, and kept getting worse. I thought the chiro had done some damage, but it turns out that the RA symptoms started exactly a year ago. I had to endure an EMG test for carpal tunnel (never again!) and doctors telling me that it was probably tendonitis, until the results of the Sediment level came back elevated, suggesting that I had an imflammitory disease. I pick up every bug and flu and mystery illness so I am pretty used to feeling like crap, except this past winter I didn't get my strength back and it was all down hill from there. In Minnesota, we are suppose to have the Nation's best healthcare. It leaves a lot to be desired. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
