Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2006Good News for a change
Got the results from an extensive blood/x-ray testing. I do not have Ankylosing Spondylitis, my bone density is still in the high normal range, and the blood work showed what the Dr was hoping for. I do not have diabetes--but will have to be very careful due to Viral Pancreatitus years ago. Seems like the pancreas's never completely returns to full function if it is 'every disturbed'..and it was by the ole flu bug when I was 21. The broken foot bones are being caused by the Myloproliferative Disorder which I can't take anything for as I can't have aspirin and Tylenol doesn't work on this disorder. Butterfly (what a relief) Well thats good to hear. I am happy for you. Sorry you can't take anything for the foot bones.

I take a calcium tablet every other day. Any more often causes other problems. Butterfly (Dr wants me to take more but my body says no. My body is noisier than the Dr so I listen to it.) > Well thats good to hear.

I have a pill cutter and I cut one of my dog's pills up so I can hide it in her food. Glad to hear the other news. Loujean >Thank you. I take a calcium tablet every other day.

[quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >>> >>> Butterfly (what a relief) I'm ok with what I'm doing as this is the 2nd bone density test in one year and both have given the same results. If it means a yearly test then I'll do it. If it shows any change then we will have to change something else. My Family Dr knows what I'm doing and is ok with it as long as I keep him informed of any and all changes. He is the best Family Dr we have ever had and we have lived all over this country with my DH's work (now retired due to RA) Butterfly > It seems a shame that you can't sneak up on the full dose.

Good to share with ppl that understand. Butterfly >>Got the results from an extensive blood/x-ray testing.

What a complicated group of disorders! The symptoms do not sound at all fun! Still, I'm glad you don't have to deal with AS on top of the other. I hope they can figure out some ways of helping you. It's such a hassle when things overlap and don't let you take what you need med-wise. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Took a bunch of specialists over 2 years to come up with this besides the alphabitius that I have. I finally have a 'name' for what is going on and am now down to 5 Specialists, Pain Management Dr, and Family Dr. Fortunately, I only have to see 3 of them a couple of times a year now. My other ones keep these up to date. Saves a lil in the pocketbook to spend on all the medications. They finally seem to have found a livable solution with medications as I am now able to "do" so many things I couldn't just 2 years ago. Have found that 10 to 20 minute increments is about all I can handle. I do have to 'rest a lot' and plan my days as to how I'm feeling.
