Can I share some good news I just got?
I know I haven't been on much between adjusting to being back at work where it is difficult to come on most of the time. Also add in that I have been in just so much pain and have barely been able to walk for about 6 weeks now
I've been to a bunch of doctors and the orthopedist I saw was positive I had rheumatoid arthritis which scared me. Another doctor was concerned that I had some other form of joint disease.
I had tons of bloodwork done last week and can happily say today that I do not have arthritis, Lupus or anything else they tested me for which I am so happy about!!!! Arthritis is something that affects many women in my family - painfully no less.
I am however severely anemic which we have to address and I have to continue physical therapy 3 times a week until my joints are stronger.
Just wanted to share my good news and why I've been too wiped out at night to come on here and play.

Great news! I just got an MRI for what they thought was degenerative joint disease and they found out it's just tendonitis. So I know how relieved you are!! Yeah!!

Re: Can I share some good news I just got?
Congratulations!!! This is fantastic news!
I know how scary these diseases are, after several rounds of blood tests and visits to doctors, it appears I do have lupus, which I am not happy about at all.
So I am glad you had good results--anemia is easier to care for than rheumotoid arthritis.
