Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 hi all,me again, I have a message on my answering machine and I believe it is about going all the way to Eugene, Or. which if you don't have chronic pain wouldn't be such an issue with me. One of the specialty docs I saw thinks I have R.A., mentioned Lupus too, had a bunch of tests done. My insurance won't pay for injections, but I haven't heard much good about them, so I don't really know. With long drive all the way to Eugene without meds, what are they thinking? I know, here I am back, talking with you all with no good news except like I was telling Lyndi, I'm still smoke free. Guess I need just some support from you all, tired of being stuck in bed. Yes, I do get out, but not much, hurts too much. Coleen from So. Or. ps. hope you are all doing somewhat ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 If you have spinal issues and you are showing signs of RA or Lupus HAVE THEM CHECK FOR MASSES on your spine. I have been through ALL of this and mine ended up being a HUGE melengiomia (sp?) in my T2 & T3 Vertebre. The symptoms are very similar. I am happy to get into more detail if you wish but I wanted to give you a heads up. Kate Fontaine " Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
