Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks Annie, Now it's my understanding that RA is determined by blood tests. Which i did have done by my primary which was Negative.. So not sure why people would continue to say RA.. I have my First Rheumatologist Appt tomorrow (as long as we dont get too much Snow) so will see how that goes... Today so far is a real good day for me!! A First since Dec when this onset started! I woke up at 8am rather then 10-1030 (or even later) like i have been. Now mind you I am a Morning person normally so I was excited! My hands were not as sore(but they did hurt) my shoulder was sore with pains here and there in the neck, both arms and legs. Along with over all achy Blah feeling.. But in comparison it was Mild.. Now of course as i was just typing that i got a BAD pain in the arm which was the highest level so far today. I swear " IT " knows what i am thinking... and says ha ha.... LOL Now i am sure it that had anything to do with the Pain meds i was taken becasue I started to take my Vicodin yesterday morning which i normally try to stay away from. We will see tomorrow when i need to be up at 7am for my FIRST visit to the Rheumatologist!!! ********Now on another matter************ I agree whole heartedly with STOP THE FIGHTING... I am new to this group and new to Fibro itself and if it wasn't for the fact that I NEED everyones information and support to help me understand and get through all this i would not be here! I am the Owner/moderator of my own personal Group here on yahoo with about 180 people. I had a problem with back and fourth bickering sometime ago so i know how it is. Now I didn't want to BAN anyone so I Suspended all post's and put out My own email each hour on the hour for a few hours or was it every half hour i forget.... But Hoping that the message would get across.... It was like a magic, Everyone became civil over night and the group was at peace once again! Not telling anyone to do that. Just saying thats what i did.. So i can understand the frustration.. (lansdale Pa) ... > Dear , > > I have the same symptoms you do with regard to my fingers and > knuckles.
