Re: My First Appointment With The Rheumatologist
      02/13/04 04:58 PM

lemongrass, i see a rheumatologist and the first visit did take at least an hour. He examined hands , wrists, fingers, knees, feet, toes, hips, knees., geez i was gonna list all parts , but there are too many to list. checking range of movement for all and checking for pain in any joints. He also took some xrays & blood work.Of course he asked alot of questions, are my fingers etc. stiff? in the morning? how long before stiffness goes away in the am -- i take it this is a very important factor -- when i am at my best it takes about an hour in the morning to get loose. but somedays it takes several hours to get moving, and then after starting work , a few hours later i will get bad again! but thats when i am at my worst.If you do get diagnosed with ra, let me know , please pm me. i have a web site that is really good. i have really learned alot from it . they have live webcasts that you can replay & listen to. The last one was called fatigue and pain management with rhematoid arthritis.

good luck
midnight
