After a long bad week i saw the RD. Well to say the least even with a positive RF and an anti-ccp of 100. Well it's not always easy being me. Well i had gotten better swelling wise over a week ago. But i had the face thing. and was sick. Went to the dentist. He says you must have chronic sinus problems. your teeth are fine. Had bubbles in my urine docs office said go to er. Hmmm. ER said maybe the flu gave me a script for compazine? check spelling, and you have your period and don't know it. Hmmm I don't much get those anymore, once a year maybe. But we want you to follow up in 48 hrs if not better, don't ignore this. So i guess i am tired by the time i see RD. So RD doesn't know he is under all this pressure. He said telapathically people may have told him other wise he had no idea. I like the guy. He snipped at me one time or two and i at him. But we have the same goal so alright. He at first said unbelievable you have been seiing docs all in this town for years and here i have been for 15 years yet they send you up state all the time and ware you out. Anyway he syys i am sick. I agree. He says sjorgrens probably, anyway to sick today for RA meds. Plus even sjorgrens and RA and low blood sugar should not make me this tired. So i did not like his first approach and told him he was unaware that he god here that everyone has been telling me he would figure it out, so he said alright and we played what could this be for a bit. And i was correct in getting urinalisis done, as even my rare thing in pee, epithieals got him thinking in some direction. And he checking thyriod and a bunch of AI stuff. Anyway at first doc did not explain himself and i said wait a minute. Then he said your having a bit of hair loss your sick, I will put you on meds but the right ones. Because a positive RA and a anti-ccp of 100 can mean more than RA. And he is going over my recent blood work and will consult with doc and of course new blood work and all i have to get done today. I can start Lyrica for fibro if i want to, and provigil for chronic fatigue if doc thinks it's alright. Well thats better than the eroom saying an invisible time of the month, they said you just think you don't get them you have micro scopic time of the month. Well i tell you what my micro scopic time of the month is even very sick. I hope none of you ever catch that. LOL

I get anemia several times a year, i always know when it comes back because i want to sleep forever.
I wish you well.
It's good to know you're home. I hope your doctor gets to the bottom of your problems right away.
Nice, you're being visited by Rosie monthly with no, uh, Rosie?? Gotta love the ER!
