Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Hey there Well if there are two types it kinda makes me wonder reading all the posts here and what different problems we all have and many are the same that perhaps RP doesn't just attack one type of cart....As I said...the doctors are good at blaming a lot of my joint pain on Fibromyligia...Told my Rheumy several times that I think that FM is just a name the doctors give it because they just don't know what is making us hurt like this. With me seems like my list of health problems keeps growing and growing...Right Sharon????

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 Hi Sharyn, I'm glad that you had a good talk with your Rheumy. You sound more at ease. I'm sorry for all of the pain that you're in but soon with all of our Prayers and the surgery you will feel a lot better. Take care and I am sending you gentle hugs.
