hi all,
I'm being tested for RA. I was tired of pain so I went to my doc yesterday. my wrist was acting up so bad I can't do anything with it. Well it's not really my wrist.. its more my thumb and base of it.
anyway, I told him that my knees, and shoulder do it aswell as my ankles and I forgot to tell him my hips.
So he gave me a prescription for naproxen and a slip for a blood test to look for RA factor and a CBC panel.
So I guess we'll see what that says. The naproxen takes over an hour to kick in . It doesn't take away all the pain but enough that Ican type and load the dishwasher lol.
alot of ppl in my family have arthritis so It woudn't surprise me if do have it. Woudl explain why i'm so darn tired all the time to ! =/
