One of my meds for rheumatiod arthritis, I was referring to, sorry. Its commonplace for me, but not for everyone, didn't meant to try and confuse.
 Thanks, next week I will have to call my rheumatologist, who said if the headaches lasted longer than a week (a week and a half TOPS *very stressed*) that I was to let him know. It will be 2 weeks on Monday, when I call him. I was hoping the pain meds would help, but they aren't  So, we're looking at a different med. (sorry, I tend to ramble!)Yep, I'll have that info stored in my brain forever, now. I remember like, everything...even small, meaningless details from decades ago

no sorries needed at all! arthritis. ow. its the rheumatoid kind thats worse than the osteo kind right? im sorry you have to deal with that.
 do please call your doc tomorrow. im sure theres something he can come up with. no one should have to live life in pain. guess with a memory like yours though i should be a bit careful giving advice or support cos next time i dont take my own advice (which is almost always!) i ll be looking out for you to remind me! lol take care and good luck with the doc tomorrow! |

Rheumatoid arthritis is your own immune system attacking your joints and the lining of your bone, causing pain/inflammation. Osteo is the wearing down of the cartilage between bones so the bones (in late stage) end up rubbing against each other, causing pain and inflammation. Osteo generally affects on the joints involved, ra involves most joints in your body as well as your overall being.
LOL I wouldn't presume to remind anyone of anything, the exceptions are the people closest to me (mostly husband) and family if they /want/ me to remind them of something  Thanks, waiting now for the office to open, its only 3:30am here lol |
