All the medical language is way over my head but I do know that I had tested positive for RA back in 1980, later in 1991 I had to have a quadruple bypass for blockages additinonaly in 1998 i was tested positive for diabetse and may have had it
since at least 1965 or border line diabetic but didnt know it.
fast forward to now I am tested again for RA and is positive but i have pain now in shoulders, arms, wrists, knees, shins and ankles every morning and continues for most of the day leaving me exhausted and tired and not wanting to do anything.
I have tried asprin and even hydrocodien (2 x’s daily) 5mg, I think thats basically a starting dosage, but the doctor i have now is going to refer me to a rhematologist, hopefully
something better can be planned oh and he allowed me 14 days on prednisone 5gm 2x a day, we backed off 10mg when it
worked too well, i had no pain after 1 hour and we both felt
that i could drop the dosage so the next day dropped it to 5g, it has impacted my insulin usage and find i had to double up on my dosages. other than that im fine.
“Other than that I’m fine.” Gee, Mike. You have enough, so I hope so. Good luck with the rheum doc. I hope you get some clear answers.
