Well, it seems like I've hit RD jackpot! He is the prototype of a good
doctor - competent, up-to-date, friendly, good listener, thorough. Very
casual too and talks a lot. It's probably the best dr I've ever met.
My meds were adjusted, so that I take less folic acid and more ...

Hello all, I am curious about who is on what pain meds - how they are doing.
Any that caused big problems?

Hi I just had to bop in here and say hello to you.  I am on a cell
phone connection, believe it or not.  It works pretty good but slow.
Weather here in florida is in the 60's compared to home this is heaven

I'm working too many hours. I hurt so bad today I couldn't figure out how to

to go up again and come down slowly, right?

I saw my doc again.  I was mistaken about seeing the rheumatologist
(they're in the same practice).  She had me see HER again.
With my symptoms, I thought she would discuss lupus.  So here are my
symptoms:

LUPUS SLE, PCOS, ARTHRITIS, SICKLE CELL
I have a question.
I have all the above mentioned 'ailments' as I like to call them and
am approaching 30, lost 3 babies during pregnancy, one of which nearly

Well the good news is that I am over the chest infection pretty much.  It
has left me weak, and with a bad case of bronchitis.  Even sitting up for
too long makes me need to go back to bed for a few hours!  But I don't think
