Today is the day i go to see the doc for the first time. I have suspected i have Inflammatory Rheumatoid Arthritis for a while now. Its been affecting me more and more. Used to only happen in one joint every 6 months of so but now its happening almost 3 times a week and lasting longer. Well wish me luck. Im nervous. I have been reading some posts here and I have to say i am scared.Ermm .........Lilsis
Almost everyone worries about what to say to people who are grieving. But knowing how to listen is much more important.

Lilsis, I just found your post today. I see you had your Dr's appt on the 17th...what did they find out? Your post of the 21st refers to not getting help, what kind of help are you looking for? (I didn't see reference to a question in the first post.) I'm hoping they got a diagnosis from your symptoms and got you on some meds by now (and that you're getting some relief and the help that you need Smile Joy
