Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I thought I would tell everyone how my first Rheumatologist appt. went yesterday. I do have RA in both of my hands. All my joints in my fingers and in my wrists are severely inflamed. All the other pain is either from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus or something other or a combo of these things. We will know more after I take a sleep test and a bone scan sometime soon. The doctors office is suppose to call me with the appt's. He gave me 3 Rx's. Flexeril- muscle relaxer, Plaquenil- arthritis med. and Loricet- pain med. I sure hope once i get started on these good the pain will go away for good. I am sooooooo tired of being in pain all the time. The Dr. did give me samples of the Flexeril and I took them before I went to bed along with my sleeping pill and I slept all through the night for the first time in years! Still exhausted today and in some pain, but I am hoping and praying the new med's work. I know I have the give the Plaquenil time to build up in my system. Does anyone take this? If so, how has it worked for you and do you have any side effects from it? Thanks everyone for you nice words of encouragement and prayers for this past couple of bad weeks we have been having. Still not sure if we are going to lose our home yet or not. I hope not. I will talk to everyone later. I hope everyone is doing well. Anita ez Swaps4meandU Owner Group I love Stewie!!
