Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Stasia, I wouldn't worry about the 3D Scan. It is pretty common for the specialist to order this to rule out cranio. My neuro assured me that he felt it was plagio and was ordering the 3D just as an extra precaution. I can understand feeling worried though - a natural reaction for a mommy or daddy. I will be hoping that your band comes in on the 26th! Good luck with the scan - you guys will do great!! Marci (Mom to ) Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will send prayers for recovery and peace. It is good to hear that is doing so well and that he is adapting well despite the heat. You guys will be done before you know it!!! Keep us posted!!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Hi, I joined this group a few years ago when I got a blood test saying I had a very high rheumatoid factor. Being naive to what that meant I started doing research on R.A. I'm 24 years old, my mom was diagnosed with lupus at 25 (right after she had me). I was officially diagnosed with Fybromyalgia about 2 years ago if memory serves (which it usually doesnt j.k.) Now I am seeing a very well known and highly recognzied rheumatologist in my area (he has been treating my mom for 20 + years). I have only had one visit with him thus far. WHile he was doing the routine checks, my neck would crack when moved, my knees would pop when bent etc. etc. He just said that I should not sound like this at 24. He kept asking me if I get dry mouth. I basically told him that generally speaking I'm always thirsty. My younger sibling is the same way. So I wouldnt think that dry mouth is something that would alarm me or even be somethign I noticed on a daily basis. He told me he thinks I have some form of R.A. that is not very progressive (knock on wood). but we have not gotten the blood test results back (go this tuesday the 10th). Now mind you, this is the THIRD rheumatologist I've seen. The first two said I had fybromyalgia. THis one said there is no way I have that. I even had X-rays taken back in October 2004 and they said no signs of rheumatoid artritis, though the areas they x-ray'd hurt like hell. Sometimes my pain is centralized to one side of my body then progressies from top to bottom or vice versa. Usually its in my forearm, neck is really bad and shoulder area. my wrists and elbows can get bad in cool weather especially. I'm sorry to ramble... But I just wanted to get your educated input on this whole thing. How many dr.s did you all see until you were finally correctly diagnosed? Is that normal for doctors not to diagnose right away? My rheumatoid factor seems to go up every year. If I do have R.A., would that mean it is getting worse? I will be sure to check back in after my results tuesday.. Thank you all and God Bless...
