Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hi Teri, Thanks for the reply. I called a rheumatologist's office in my group today--guess what? One of them is not taking anymore patients and the one that is has a 2 month waiting list! I'm on the waiting list. I don't need a referral with my insurance, but I have to stay in the network and they are the only two in my area that I can go to. Don't need to take any tests with me either. In the mean time, I'm going to try and get in to see my gp tomorrow asap, she wasn't in today. I pray that she can see me because I can't take this pain anymore. If my foot gets numb again tonight--I'm going to the hospital! Thanks for the help, dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 dee, I agree with Meghan. Get to a rhuemy ASAP by referral. They don't need test results. In fact, most of them want to do the tests themselves. I had two MRI's, a bone scan, x-rays, blood work, etc... Good luck to you. kweezon@... wrote: Hi, I'm new to the group. I'v had P since 1993--scalp, limbs, ears, two fingernails, one toe nail and occasional patches in other places throughout my body. I've been on all the creams and ointments, Dovonex, Utravate, Temovate, Tazorac,etc,. I get some clearing of the skin, but it never completely goes away. I always seem to have a patch of it somewhere. I was diagnosed in 2000, by my gp with spondylitis. She told me that most people my age get this condition (I'm 45). She didn't give me anything for it--I don't think she made the connection between the nails, the P and the spondylitis--neither did I. As a matter of fact, when I showed her my nails, she told me that I probably bumped them and didn't remember doing it. Since then, I have had many more joints that are very painful--hips, knees, shoulders and one finger. I can barely walk sometimes because the pain is so excruciating. I haven't seen my dermatologist since earlier this year when I mentioned all of this to him and I haven't complained to my gp about it either since she doesn't seem to have a clue. The dermatologist told me that I have PA and that he was going to send me to a rheumatologist--he never did. In November of last year, the back of my heel hurt so bad that I went to a podiatrist thinking I had a foot problem. Turns out is is achilles tendonitis. Again, the podiatrist made no connection. She put me on Relafen for it, gave me some shoe inserts and told me to go buy myself a pair of New Balance sneakers.( I had to stop the Relafen because it was tearing up my stomach) I got some relief for a time, but it started acting up again within the past few weeks. I have no idea which doctor I should see about this ongoing pain. The dermie? My gp? An orthopaedist? I've been trying to take care of this on my own for months--with no sucess. I've tried ibuprophen, Tylenol Arthritis, Mineral Ice, Capsaicin, Deep Heat, Icy Hot, hot baths, heating pads--you name it, I 've tried it. I do not know what to do. I want to go to a rheumatologist asap, but I have no test results to take with me. I have one x-ray from 98 and that's it. I can't take much more of this horrendous pain! Most of my joints large joints are killing me! Will a rheumy see me without my having to take some kind of test results with me? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, dee [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Hey Jan, I could use some of that rain. We've gotten a little but most of it is skipping us. I was never good at that patience thing either, but I'm getting a little better. I used to do everything myself because I didn't have the patience to wait for someone else to do it. On treatment I've had to learn to back off. Good luck with the ultrasound. Sharon __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 We've been blessed with a gorgeous weekend here. In the low 80's and sunny. I fixed a couple of doors I've been meaning to for about 2 years now, sat out in the yard and in general enjoyed life. I forgot all about hepatitis and pills and pains and work and dragons and devils. I hope to do the same today (except for fixing the doors) -dz- Jannewilms42@... wrote: I hope eeryone is having a good weekend..It is raining here and has been since last night..I hope it quits soon we have enough now..It stayed dry for so long and now it don't want to quit...My wekend is ok...My youngest brother is down for a few days and my daughter is gone for a few..Oh well it always balances out doesn't it??

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I remember one of the neighborhood kids had one. We teased him, as kids tend to do. We called him M1 or unisac.

Then one day ayoung girl named Blue Bird forgot and said, "Good morning, Onestone..."He jumped up, grabbed her, and took her deep into the forest where hemade love to her all day and all night. He made love to her all thenextday, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.The word got around that Onestone meant serious business.Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until a womannamed Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away for manyyears.Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she sawOnestone.She hugged him and said, "Good to see you, Onestone..."Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, then he screwedherall day, made love to her all night, made love to her her all the next day, made love toher all the next night...but, Yellow Bird wouldn't die!!!!What is the moral of this story???And the moral is........................

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 No I was one of those that couldn't take the tx. When I say couldn't, it was because of the sever sides, and after the second stay in the hosp, I made the decision to quit. I am a geon-3 stage 1 stage 1 and my viral load after 12 weeks was undetectable..Been checked twice since then and still undetectable. Only problem I am having now is my hemo keeps going up from my hemochromitosis (spelling) and they take a pint of blood every 6 weeks to bring it down. Now I'm doing some vitamins and herbs (not the smoking kind lol) and all my #s are staying good. I love this board and all the others and wish I had found them before and during my tx.
