Charcot joint??

[lovemyheart]

Hi everyone...I havent been on this site in a while, but i think of all of you and appreciate all the help and support that you all give even when not feeling well. My feet always had poor circulation. I am not overweight and i exercise,dont drink or smoke. However, three of my drs. think i have charcot joint disease in both my feet as the joints are becoming terribly deformed and now im having trouble walking. As I have written before i am APS positive and factor VIII deficient. Has anyone here been diagnosed with Charcot? Anyone here have a blood disorder other than APS?...Thank you...hugs to all of you...Teresa

Hi there, sorry to hear about your discomfort, it seems it does appear in autoimmune disease particularly with regard to RA and also with diabetics: I have loaded up a couple of articles here for you. I hope they help, I am glad they have diagnosed it for you early on.
