Guess I need to call the doctor. | Arthritis Information

I have been in pretty close contact with the doctors as i have seeen one at least once every two weeks for a long time now.

All that seems to do is make them frustrated. Does not ususlly do alot for me.

Maybe i need to call the dentist also. I already have a dentist appointment coming up next week. So maybe i will just wait on that. Maybe not.

I just felt rather ill last night right before bed. Very hot for one thing. Nothing specific just ill.

Woke up at 4:00 A.M. in pain. Now that has not happened for a while. I can usually sleep as I am not up walking on my joints when I sleep.

Well more swelling in the knees such fun. Actually the right knee has hard swelling under it. That is a bit different for my knees. Well usually the hard swelling is above the knees. Anyway I thought i was getting worse yesterday but the pain was under controll. Well that did not last long.

I talked to the nurse a couple of days ago and she was not the least bit concerned. I will try again. Or maybe just make an appointment. I have not been able to get out of the house for a walk or to go shopping for a month now at least. I can walk to the bath room and kitchen while on pain meds but that wares me out.

Hugs, Milly, hugs,

What sort of medication are you on Milly? I'm sorry; I can't keep up with everyone, what does the dentist have to do with it?Well I have Sjorgrens so thats what the dentist has to do with it. Or maybe it is a side effect of the medicine? But i may have an infection in one of my teeth. I am on taking Plaquinil or rather the generic form of it.

Oh the dentist has nothing to do with my knee of course. I just never have been good about having one problem at a time. I am always multi tasking.

Be strong, girl. This too shall pass.

Poor Milly, you need to feel better. Do what you need to do to give you peace of mind. Awww, Milly! At least they are not trying to lock ya up in the nut ward! Remember that?

Yeah, the hard swell is a bummer! My kness have some of that going on right now.

Hope you feel better soon!

Much hugs

Feel better Milly!Yes I remember that. It was awful but sort of funny. I was so sick i could not hurt a flea and i escaped. I mean seriously a big guy in a white suit was following me out to the car. And i was cusing because my knees hurt i couldn't run.

I was so sick i would have gladly checked in but they wanted to take my walking stick and prednisone away from me for faking RA. And well they just were not being very nice.

I had a 16.9 white count. I went there for antibiotics. That was all i wanted. They just got mad because i was walking slow and when they ask you what meds you are on and what conditions you have the nurse got mad. Because some doctor told me a month prior there was nothing wrong with me but old age. It was sad but exciting for someone that had been laying in bed sleeping for a few months.

Yeah... I remember it, Milly! Heheehee.

Well, hopefully you will not have to escape again.
