plaquenilABOUT ME:
I been diagnosed with RA since June of 2008. I have a lot to learn about this disease . Last year I was hospitalised and given a pace maker for SS syndrome. My heart rate was to low. I have been on Oxygen (when needed) for emphazema and have lung nodules since last year. I am scared and trying to tough out problems I am having that do not make much sence to me right now. The pain and tiredness etc. that I think is due to RA I learned from reading about it. I have only seen my Rhemunatoid doctor a couple of times and have an appt. soon My doctors are not very informative so I am struggling with how to live with the limitations that I have. I quit smoking cigg. a year a go. I am not able to walk far and it is more difficult to walk on inclines. I feel I can say I have flare ups for there are times I am feeling better. Still my limitations have been increasing in the past few years and very much so this past year.PHOTOS:
