Thanks and Question

[Guest guest]

Thanks to all for the warm welcomes. It's really nice

to know that there are people who understand!!!

My question is this...my dr. has told me, and the

rheumatologist has told me, that fibro is not

associated with any swelling. I saw the

rheumatologist on Saturday, and while I was still at

the office, after the visit, as I was visiting the

ladies room, my wrist started hurting. I rubbed it a

little, and it hurt worse. I looked at it and it was

all swollen up. This happened in the time it took to

walk to the ladies room and out again! Now it is

bruised and swollen and painful, and my left wrist is

slightly swollen. My question is, " What's up with

that? " It scares me, because I know I did not injure

myself in anyway, yet I am injured. I do not have any

type of arthritis or rheumatism or any inflamatory

disease, AND, just to be on the safe side, I'm on one

course of steroids " just in case " I do have any

swelling in my joints or tendons, since I did have

pain. I have one pill left of 11 to take. Can't

figure this one out. I began having a panic attack in

the tub yesterday, imagining I had broken my wrist and

had bone cancer...my f-i-l just died of bone cancer

last November at age 59. I was taking care of him all

the time, taking him to his appoitments, giving him

shots and medications, the whole works. He died in

his sleep, my husband found him, he was not expected

to die, his dr. said his cancer was not terminal.

Anyway, my irrational fear sets in, that I caught

cancer from him, although I know it's impossible, and

I've just had every test under the sun and know I

don't have cancer. My husband had to tell me, you

don't have cancer, you're fine, there's nothing wrong.

My f-i-l's first sign of bone cancer was back pain

and x-ray showed cracked vertebrae that he had no idea

when or how it happened. It's just like a bad night

mare.

Thanks again for letting me vent. What a great place

this is!
