As I said I want to tell my Ra story so
here it is.
part 1
I am now 61 and young in mind and young in the heart and need to stay as positive as
possible,but physically I am wheelchair bound but hopefully that will change soon
MY RA Story
When I was younger I was very active career wise and socially wise I use to dance at discos etc and my feet moved fast even won a few prizes if I didnt have ra now I think I would still give some of the younger ones a run for their money, anyway in 2002 I brought mother home on pallitave care she passed with kidneyand heart failure at home and I greived badly after that I went away for a short time I came back home ,I had a swollen right knee I went to my gp he put me on anantiflamatory and also referred me to a rheaumatologist at this time I was working when I saw my rheaumatogogist I was given the necessary blood test and diagosed with ra was put on 25 mg of prednisolone it was reduced after a certain time slowly down to 15mg after this
my bones started to weaken (osteoporosis side effect of prednisolone) people
at work saw me getting weaker the legs (should they have looked at the cause first ( my grieving) instead of the symptom
part 2 soon
