It looks like...according to the doctors; that I have authritis. For those of you who have been following me for years, I am finally going to find a solution to my condition. They have not really officially diagnosed me as I have not been to the rhumatologist yet. I am anxious to find out what is up w/ me for sure! I am going to have to wait though because it sounds like a lot of people are suffering from these kinds of conditions all over our neck of the woods. No new patients, waiting lists etc. I am currently starting a new medicine to take care of the symptoms. Apparently, the skin conditon I have is caused by an auto-immune problem connected to the authritis. I am still in so much pain but at least I know that it is my joints not my muscles.
So, that is it for now! I am in a little bit of pain right now but my program is not suffering--I am a bit moody though.
(((Kathleen))) I'm sorry you're in pain, but a diagnosis of a condition is a good start. Even if it's something bad, awareness is the first step to correcting it. I hope the new medication helps. Glad to hear your keeping up with your program! Sending positive thoughts and support.
