Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2008rhummy in the Cleveland area?
Hi, I have been on this NG off and on for many years. Haven't posted for a long time. RA and OA. Was in the Mpls-St Paul area, but now I am in Ohio, living with my son for the time being. Love my Rhummy in St Paul, and I need to find another one. And the whole line up, a PCP, dentist and an orthopedic surgeon. But a Rhummy is first on the list. Any suggestions? Am in Oberlin about 30 miles S of Celevland. Thanks. Rose2 Fose, don't know a Rhummy but if you need an excellent cardiologist, I know the man for you.

In the overall scheme of things its not that far to drive Karen > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Rose2 I also would check out cleveland clinic. That is where I was diagnosed with lupus and MCTD. So I am sure someone will check you there and why not the best. Sorry my doctor is now teaching in Palm beach and she has a practice there too, or I would send you to her. Good bunch of people there, go for it. Call a nurse or visit the website and check out the list of them there. janers Karen, Where in Ohio are you located? I thought I was at the other end of the state from Cleveland in Adams County. Rose, I hope you find a doc you will like. That can be frustrating.

[quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>>>> >>>>> Rose2 It was bad here Thursday night and all day and night on Friday. I was outside under a tarp cooking up maple syrup as ice was building up on the tarp. I did stay dry and warm enough. We had about 3" of snow then a nice layer of ice to cover it. Luckily, I stayed right here! I teach school and we were out of course. We got another inch of fluffy snow this afternoon. Not enough to cause any problems. WLW talked about the terrible roads all evening Friday. I am sure it was a mess up yor way. Eric > nope just around the corner > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >>>>>> >>>>>> Rose2 I am in Oblerlin, which is in Lorain County. I have heard of the Cleveland Clinic, so will check it out. Husband died a little over a month ago, and am here with my son for a while. Don't know if I will settle in the area of not; Minneapolis has nothing for me there now, execpt my docs. What I need to find first is someone who does hands. Having a flare in one thumb; keeps triggering. Think I need a cortisone shot. BTW, a cardiologist reccomendation will be welcomed. Family history and such. DH had a heart attack 4 years ago, and I think/hope that I am treating myself right in that way. A little history about me; once he had his heart attack, I became his caretaker, medical advocate. He soon was dx with severe COPD; was on oxygen 24/7 and in the last 6 months before his death, was dx with a reoccurance of Hairy Cell Leukemia(HCL). He died because of a fall. Seems strange that I can now just heal on my own, no one else to worry about. Thanks for the recs. Now I know where to start. > Karen, > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > >> Rose2 Don't know who long you have been dealing with the trigger finger issue, but have you considered having a trigger finger release done? It is an outpatient surgical procedure (usually done by an orthopedic doctor) that is fairly easy to recover from and brings a great deal of relief. I had both index fingers done about a year or so ago and am thrilled with the results and not having to deal with the constant triggering, injections, pain, etc. Just a thought. The cleveland clinic website is below if you want to poke around it a bit. www.clevelandclinic.org . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A. . > .I have never heard of that procedure. Four years ago, had same problem with left thumb. Triggered 99% of the time. First there was OT, than a cortisone shot and then laser surgery. Every so often, it will trigger, but seems to happen only during stress. Thanks for the info. WIll check it out. Rose > Don't know who long you have been dealing with the trigger finger issue, > but have you considered having a trigger finger release done?

(mine passed away, under somewhat similar circumstances, 5 years ago, next month, after his valiant 16 1/2 month battle for survival.) do focus on taking care of yourself now, rose. it takes a lot out of a person being a caregiver and advocate, much more than we realize, though we do it willingly and lovingly. re: the triggering thumb. i had the the trigger release surgery done years ago on my left thumb and haven't regretted it since. welcome back to asa, rose. kate I have no suggestions, rheumy-wise. I just had to pop in to say hello, to offer my condolences on your husband's deah and to say that I'm a bit familiar with Oberlin. My stepdaughter was a student at the Conservatory in the late 90s and we visited her several times. It has its charms, but i must admit the size of the town was wearing on her by the time she graduated.
