Hi everybody, yesterday evening I had an appointment with my new Rheumy. I was actually dreading it due to my last experience with the previous rheumatologist. Well I have to say he was brilliant listened to me, Then going on my symptoms and doing an ultrasound on my hands and looking at all my blood results, told me he thinks I have Inflammatory arthritis. Today I have had numerous bloods taken, X-rays on my Spine, pelvic area, hips and hands. He will call me with the results next week.
He said he will put me on Methexotrate to which I am apprehensive and to be honest scared, he gave me a Steroid injection last night. But to be honest I have to give it a try anything to get me out of this awful burning which seems to be taking over my body.
My depression has lifted purely as I feel more positive and want to look ahead something I haven’t done for a good while.
Thank you all for being there you are a lifeline for people like me.
