Well, I saw my rheumy over a month ago now.  They called an had an appointment right away.  I happened to be in a down period the week I went so he couldn't find the swelling.  He could not make a definitive diagnosis however because he figured it was too soon to see anything on an xray.  I have another appointment to see him in January but I've been on Naproxin and Plaquenil for a month and a half now which has made a huge difference.  I still have days where I ache all over but very few days where mobility is restricted.  What I have found to be the most difficult is the fatigue.  I feel so lazy sometimes for example on Friday the fatigue hit hard so I stayed home from work and slept until 5pm.  I didn't hear my cell phone which was right beside me and I didn't even here the doorbell at 4pm!  Also, I discovered my memory has issues when it comes to taking my meds on vacation.  I missed one dose one morning and paid for that for the next three days when I had trouble moving my wrist, it hurt to walk and all I wanted to do was sleep!
