Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Rie, I developed a patch looking like a brown mark that is slowly spreading on my wrist. I asked my ra doctor about it and he acted like I was nuts and told me to go see a dermatologist. My ra doctor came highly recommended, but he always acts like I'm nuts when I ask him a question.~Rie <ravencache@...> wrote: Anita,I agree with Beth, that I would tell your doctoreverything, whether or not you believe it's related tothe RA. The more I learn about this thing, the biggerit is, and the more indicators I have. I worry aboutbeing considered a "wimp" or a whiner a little, butI've finally come to the conclusion that that's justgoing to have to be the way it is!Thanks for asking about how to know when you've got it"controlled". I was wondering about that also andjust asked another group I'm on for lupus. Questions: Do any of you experience uneven facialcoloration? Like sort of redness/blotchy/or darkerspots? Since I have been taking this steriod forallergies, I've noticed that my skin tone has evenedout on my face, and I didn't even know it was unevento begin with! The dark spots are still there on thesides of my eyes, but the rest of my face actuallylooks pretty healthy! Funny, the things one gets usedto.Rie~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Message: 2 Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2004 18:47:10 -0000 From: "coolcat102271" <coolcat1022@...>Subject: YellowTo everyone else as well, when your RA is undercontrol and you have a flare up does the fatigue set it then? I have beenhaving a bad flare up all over this week. Especially in my neckand my back. Today it is real bad in my hands and feet. Thefatugue is not as bad, but is still present. I am not falling asleep,but feel I could go take a veeery long nap. I need to clean my house(which has not been done all week), but just do not have the energy. I guess I will do a little at a time. I hope everyone has a great day and wonderful weekend!What should I expect at my first visit with my Rheumydr? Could someone tell me so I do not go in there not knowinganything at all. Should I tell him everything that is going on even ifI do not think it is RA related?Anita _______________________________Do you ?Shop for Back-to-School deals on .http://shopping./backtoschool __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
