Thanks guys for your response! I'm going to my rheumy in a little over a mont. I may call and reschedule if possible and ask him about some of your suggestions. God Bless everyone!...
I have been on three different medications for RA and the only one that has made any difference is mtx. Enbrel made me worse in combination with the mtx. Now I'm supposed to be taking plaquenil and...
I have experienced this in the past! It's really uncontrollable. The first time it happened its was very uncomfortable and just strange! I freaked out! My rheumy told me it was fibro! It's really...
I haven't been on here in months! I am also on enbrel injections once a week. I get rashes at the injection site! This week after my injection it was on my breast. It goes away on me about two days...
Thanks for the input! Really appreciate it. I live in Mississippi! I think it all depends on which judge you get because I have heard some horrible things about our certain judges. It has been 3 long...
Hi gang! Haven't been on here in a while, I've been having so many problems that I haven't felt like posting much less anything else. My hearing is coming up March 2nd and I want everything to go...
I'm sorry to hear at such a young age that you may have RA. My RA factor was 92 and I was in bad shape. I hope you find a rheumy that will help you with the pain and inflammation I still have a lot...
Thanks for the replies! It's been a better day, not as much pain but the nerves are still driving me batty! Lol...
good morning! For the past week I have been hurting under my right shoulder blade, the pain streaks across my back and it feels like someone is stabbing me with a knife over and over! When it starts...
When your pain starts do you have like tingling around the area? I do. It seems to make my nerves on edge and I can't stand to be touched!...
Yes I do! I wasn't sure if anyone else had pains around their shoulder blades but when I get a flare up that's where it starts and hurts through to my lungs and I have a problem breathing when I'm in...
Thanks everyone for your responses. Wish I could just lay in the bed when I get these flares but I have two beautiful grand girls that live in my home. They keep me jumping and I love ever minute of...
:devil: yes the devil is working on all my problems these past several week! My RA, the Fibro, the DDD and even my IBS! I think I have the flu again. I'm hurting everywhere and my hips almost caused...
I am so sorry you have to go through all of this, the pain and suffering with this stuff is bad enough without having to put up with a dr that doesn't really concern him/her with the agony we suffer!...
I haven't had my meds so far to cause me problems with the IBS, but the way RA, Fibro and IBS go hand in hand it could be something to check into. I've been on these meds for 2 years, well not the...
Mine comes slowly from late night and by morning I am in so much pain I can't stand for someone to even touch me! I have to roll out of bed and can't take anything until one grand child is at school...
Wow! Pain contracts, haven't had that happen to me yet and hope it never does! I live in Mississippi and my rheumy gives me my pain mess when I need them. I take Tylenol 3, fioricet, gabapintin, and...
Yes I am being treated for fibro. I take gabapintin. Didn't wo too well yesterday....
Well, yesterday was the worst I'm not sure sure but I think I was having a fibro flare. My body felt like someone had taken a ball bat to my entire body! The pain was unbearable. I hurt everywhere I...
I will let you know. Have a blessed day!...
Hi! I'm not sure if its RA or OA, but I have 2 nodules in the palm of my right hand . I have an RA appointment this month and I'm going to ask him about them. Does yours hurt? At first mine didnt...
I'm sorry you are in so much pain, I definitely can relate to the feeling like you have broken a bone! My Rhuemy told me that mine is associated with my RA. I think it depends on where and which...
The way that I can tell if its the fibro or RA is the difference in the pain. For me the nerve pain is mostly the fibro, but there are times that I have a hard time telling the difference that's when...
Thanks everyone for your replays. Can't wait to go to my rheumy and get all this straight! Bless you all for being here and understanding all my crazy, weird pain!...
Thanks for the reply! I have a two year old grand-daughter and I have to pick her up a lot so maybe that's what has this shoulder going crazy. I have a rheumy appointment in a little over a week so I...
There is one place that seems to be more bothersome than the others. My right shoulder has been really bothering me more than anywhere else. I'm wondering if it's because I had an injury to this...
Hi everyone, it's been awhile, but I've been having so many problems with pain, numbness and so wake feeling that I just haven't felt like posting. My hips get to hurting so bad at times that they...
Oh my gosh yes! Know where you are coming from when you are talking about low back pain! Mine is right above my tail Bone like you mentioned, mine also swells with inflammation. I am taking...
I am having the itching too! My rheumy diagnosed me recently with secondary fibromyalgia and along with the horrific pain you have with RA or fibro I have to put up with the itching, I was told its...
Thanks for the advice. I am going to have to go to my rheumy or my GP next week if things do not get better. Having bad migraines, fever and such pain in my right shoulder that I can hardly deal with...
Hello, Well I have been experiencing muscle aches and spasms but now they are starting to feel " hot", not to the touch but like the muscle is hot! Anyone know what I'm talking about? It feels like...
May God bless you and keep you comforted. He is a mighty God and he will help you through this fight. Sending prayers and a whole lot of hope your way. Glea...
Thanks for the advice I will definitely give it a shot! I do take my Gracie to the bedroom with me and she is great, I turn on TV and she lays in the bed beside me until I get up. I hate doing that...
For the past few weeks I have been experiencing horrible fatigue, I can hardly stay awake at times. My grand- daughter, lives with me and my husband and I have to convince her to take a nap just so I...
Mine started with issues from my back, but I have had knots on my wrist and first and second fingers before I even knew I had RA. Know I have them on both thumbs as well. Hope you don't have as much...
I haven't seen any! What websites are you using maybe that would help. I had to use an elimination diet when I was being tested for allergies, worked great for me then maybe it could for my RA....
Well I think I am trying to do myself in! Lol. Today I fell and now I have a sprained ankle and busted my knee up, what more can my body take! I was trying to straighten up my patio and slipped and...
I found out by my GP, I was having major issues with my back hurting. It was so bad that I was having to walk around every hour to just get my stiff body loose so I could sit back down and do my job....
I've been so busy with my sister in law I haven't had time for myself. She had surgery yesterday and I was at the hospital all day running around trying to keep up with my grand daughter. My body is...
Well, I did it again! Hit my head on my car door and let me tell you I thought I was going to pass out! I have a very sore spot on my head and have had a bad headache since Sunday afternoon. Now I am...
Bless your heart! Prayer is always the best medicine. Hope everything goes well with the procedure....

Neenaa, Since my last post on the RA thread my doctor has diagnosed me with Secondary Fibromyalgia. Yes, another life sentence and I am not a happy camper! Lol when I gave him all my symptoms he told...
Thank you everyone for your help. Really appreciate everyone on this forum....
Bwfm, Where did you find that on the internet? I would like to read it if you can remember....
Thanks couch tater, I have been experiencing so much pain and a lot of new, crazy issues I thought the RA was the culprit....
My rheumy thinks I may have secondary fibromyalgia. Found out October of 2012 that I have RA and Degenerative disc. I really don't know much about fibro, so if anyone has secondary fibro please tell...
Talk to my rheumy today and he told me he thinks all the new issues I am having maybe Secondary Fibromyalgia. Anyone else have that? Is there a blood test that is performed to diagnose this or how do...
I haven't noticed slurred speech. Maybe I need to make an appointment anyway. Thanks...
I don't know if anyone else has these things happening to them but it's strange to me. For the past few months I have had a few strange things going on such as, my eyes are moving really fast...
