Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 , Glad to hear all of your good news. Are there any other docs near you that you could add to the list? Cathy D. Update from Well, yesterday I had my echocardiogram. I will be going to Stanford in Oct for an evaluation on my heart... Was surprised when I called and they answered the phone "heart failure and evaluation for heart transplants " LOl They said they had my records there. My cardiologist just wants a second opinon on my valves... Also went to the sleep dr... He says I need a heat humidifier for my c pap machine... Only problem... he doesn't bill for that, so I went to the medical supply where I got my c pap... They won't bill my ins. either. LOL Said it was private pay only....$350. My dr wrote a letter stating why I needed it and said if they denied it we would do another sleep study with the heat hum. and then prove to them I need it... Medical Company still won't submit it... So...... just waiting now for a supervisor to call me back. LOL Today went to the dr and the ultra sound showed ovarian cysts... That was good news... She is now being referred to Gyn. I went to foot dr and he and I are still working anything around surgery... I will stay in the casts for another month and add my TENS unit 3-4 times a day... That was good news too... So tomorrow I see my PCP for just a check up and hopefully a refill on the Biaxin. Friday I see my Gyn for annual physical. Next week the dentist. LOl Then I should be all caught up for the year... So today was full of good news... I am back down to 10mg of pred and doing okay... Will try to lower to 9mg next week...Hope everyone else gets a bunch of good news this week too. hugsDISCLAIMER!!WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE ONLY.

My husband had a cousin that works in the financial district of Manhattan and fortunately he is fine. I'm going to Boston in October to see Dr. Trentham and now wish I did not have to fly. Can any of you think of anything I need to ask him for the group? , I also have mitral valve prolapse that was only recently diagnosed. Could the RP have caused this? Love to all!!

You deserve good news! Actually, I got some too, went to the optomologist yesterday, he said my condition was stable (best I can hope for) no sign of the Iritis and No sign of any damage from the methotrexate! How about that? Boy how we've lowered our expectations when we are thrilled with a report of " stable " . Just keep on getting tose good reports OK?
