ABOUT ME:

Was diagnosed in Oct.'08 with Sero-negative RA after a year of testing and being told it was all in my head. It took me crying in front of my rheumatologist and saying "I can't live like this anymore" for him to do the right tests that found the SRA. I am thankful for a diagnosis, but having a horrible time learning to live with it and coming to grips that I have a chronic illness. I feel very alone at times. I can tell friends I feel "bad" or "out of sorts" and all I hear is "well sort it out!". They just don't get it. I could go on and on, but will post things as I think of them. If anyone has a xanga site, I am nevragn. I talk often there of my feelings.
