MDJunction to me

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

Ok...everyday it seems like my husband as a pain effecting a new joint. It has gone from each one of his wrists, elbow, and knees. The day he had his appointment with our doctor it was in the hip. He is still carrying a low grade fever but the night sweats have seemed to subside a bit. He turned over in bed last night and from the look on his face you could tell he was in a great bit of pain. When I asked him what was hurting he said his groin. On Friday, he started getting the sever pain in his groin that radiates down to his knee. Has anyone ever had this?

Thanks,

Helen

Brunkie does your husband have Lupus? If not it sounds like Stills Disease read up on it at www.Stillsdisease.org I was thought to have this then they figured out it was really Lupus very close but Stills Disease does not have postive ANA or Postive RA but you have all the symptoms with fevers and rash. Check it out the group is wonderful online to talk to lots of men have this too.

Peace out Good luck to your hubby poor thing!
