Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 Hi Barbara, We live about 30+ miles East of Cleveland, in Geauga County. Yes it is usually cold here but the weather has been exceptionally warm for this time of year. Hope it holds out. I have a good Rhuemy now that works with me. So far there hasn't been any real damage done. I went for a bone density test last week. I go back next week to find out results. I have to call him in the morning I've been having a flare and it affects my asthma. Ann Re: Barbara/ Welcome Hi Ann Thanks for the nice welcome. My Dr. sounds a lot like yours,but at lest the rheumy I'm with now has seen others with rp. I don't know just how much damage I have yet, He is still doing test, but told me to hang in there with him, he would find the right meds that would work for me, and try to stop further damage. What part of Ohio are you in? Tony an I were in Cleveland for two years. Boy was it cold there. Take care and stay well. Barb Barbara/ Welcome > Welcome to the group Barbara.
