Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 , You really will be ok when this is all over. The waiting is the worse part. Think of the end result, and it makes it more bearable to go through. Just remember your salt water rinses!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 , I'm so happy is doing good on Enbrel. It has been a miracle drug for many people (just not me). I would rather be in pain than see a child suffer like I do. I know you must be so happy to see your son to be able to do things he hasn't been able to do for years. Hope everything turns out ok with his hand. Tery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 just to let you all know how jesse's Rheumy appt. went. Dr. say he is doing great and looks wonderful but the nodules on his elbows concern him so he has given him a new med for that and he has dry scalp so a med. lotion for that and here is the big one, jesse has a clicking in his left wrist, dr wants an MRI done. that will be on monday then sent to a hand surgeon. may need pins in his wrist. He is nervous about it. Esther, right now you are jesse's hero. I told him what you have been going through and he says he is very lucky and hopes you are doing better. i guess the wrist problem is not a major deal just something we have to deal with. it could be alot worse. take care all, shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 , I hope 's MRI goes well tomorrow. Those nodules are really painful. I only had them in my ankles, and never did one break! It sounds pretty painful. I hope his wrist is nothing serious. Is he ready to go back to school? a ----- Original Message ----- From: <12372101@...> < egroups> Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2000 1:30 PM Subject: Re: [ ] (no subject) > just to let you all know how jesse's Rheumy appt. went.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 , You can go to the egroups website and read any of the older messages. I've forgotten my password too, so don't feel bad. Egroups has been bought out by , so I expect there will be changes. They've already put the advertising at the top of the message instead of the bottom. It is annoying, but since this is free, I guess we can't complain. a ----- Original Message ----- From: <12372101@...> < egroups> Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2000 6:41 PM Subject: [ ] (no subject) > > i have missed about 7 emails from the group. got a message saying that my > messages were bouncing and had to reset my account and would you believe that > i forgot my password and had to request a new one. > > shelly > > Our websites: http://rheumatoid.arthritis.freehosting.net/ > http://www.rasupport.webprovider.com/ > Our chat room: www.delphi.com/RheumatoidArth1/start > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Newbie : Yes your dr. can base his diagnosis based upon your symptoms and the Lyme's test should be repeated. If you are pretty asymptomatic though, I do not understand how he can give you a diagnosis. If your Lymes test was inconclusive, you could still have Lymes. That is another disease to diagnose. I had two negative Lyme tests. Generally, with RA, your pain is symmetrical meaning, if it is in your left wrist it will be in your right, left knee then also right knee. You could also be very early stages and your dr. is taking a very aggressive approach by putting you on MTX right away. Many drs. are doing that now to suppress the progression of RA. I am a believer in this approach myself. I believe it has helped me. So many people have had RA for so long and the disease has done some horrible and irreversible damage to their joints. A while back though, there were not the same drugs as there are now. Consider yourself fortunate. You can go into remission like me. My father has RA and has been in remission since 1997 and off all meds. He is 83 and a walking miracle. He had a very fast and aggressive intervention of MTX also. Sorry if I am flappin too much. Just wanted to give you hope and encouragement. Jeannette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 Hi , I work in the urgent care department of an emergency room. I know that many people have to wait many hours when they come to the ER and we do not like it any better than the patient does. Unfortunately there are so many variables that can play into your wait time and most of them cannot be helped. Where I work we try to do what we can to speed the process up, even before being seen by the doctor. I can go ahead and have xrays done and urine specimens sent to the lab and even get things ready for stitching, if I know a patient is going to need it. The doctor where I work is responsible for any emergency that happens in the entire hospital. If a code is called, he has to respond to it before taking care of his own patients. Sometimes he has to wait on results of xrays, etc (for example if the radiologist is in the hospital, he reads the xrays before they even come bck to us: another delay). Sometimes we may be bombarded with patients that require alot of his time, for example those needing stitches. And sometimes he may be having a bad day which slows him down. And some doctors are just plain slower than others. None of these make the wait any easier, but hopefully it sheds a little light on why you may get stuck waiting. I dread the days that we are backed up and behind. But I would say we have an equal number of days in which the patient is triaged, registered, seen, treated and dismissed in under an hour. I am sorry for rambling, but I can see the situation from both sides. Hope everyone is feeling well.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 i understand the waiting for people that are hurt bad. like yesterday there was 2 girls that had broken arms and a couple of people that had really high temps(meaning over 103.) i have no problem waiting for things like that. but when an ambluance comes in with an elderly person who called cause they are lonely and the people that are really hurt or sick have to wait cause the er takes care of the ambulances first. last month i had to take jared to the er for an ear infection. we waited over 2 hours to be seen for a 10 min. dxs. there was a line of people and why we were waiting a woman came in with a baby about 8 or 9 months old. he was so sick. you could look at him and see he was running a VERY HIGH TEMP. the mother and grand mother said to the triage nurse he has been sick for over 3 weeks and we have been to the dr 4 times and all he does is change his antibotic. they made that baby wait for almost and hour and a half. when we left they were still in the waiting room. i understand that drs in the er have lots of people at once and have paper work. but most of the time they sit there gabbing. yesterday the female dr. sat at the desk and chatted with one of the nurses about her sons football game the whole time i was in the exam room with robert. the other dr. (the one that treated robert) was on the move the whole time. i couldn't believe it. and the er was jammed packed with pts. i was amazed. our dr you could tell he was annoyed with her but was tactful enough not to say anything in front of everyone. shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
