Hello,

Since my last post i got a viras on my system and have been without a pc so sorry for late update and ive got lots to tell you all!

1) i went to my cardiology appointment and im having test to see if i need open heart find out in june.

2) my consultant at hospital realli helped

3) my foot eventually went down but then came back up .. thats luck!

4) im currently having another flare

5) i have found out the reason i have RA! My mum died in August 2008 which was a great trauma and set me a little mad i wasnt sleeping ect and aparently this caused chemical inbalances in my body/head which in turn allowed my system to allow ra to attack my system and that leads me to today!

Last week i had an emergency physio appointment were they assessed me fully and made a plan. I have an appointment tommorrow with my rhmer (emergency) to see if they can do nefink to help over xmas period.

On tuesday and wednesday i have 2 physio appointments, im excite but a little nervouse im havin Wax treatment on tuesday on my hands for the first time im not sure how that will go but it will be an experience! Wednesday i have hydrotheropy which im most nervouse about i can swim but never experienced nefink like it before.

I hope everyone else is ok,

take care xx

    Thanks for the reply,

    Yes aparently a major trauma/stress can cause ra to come on, which was a suprise to me but we learn somthing new every day!

    Hi, Glad to have you back! I suppose it makes sense, stress and truma causing RA. Its the point when the body is at its lowest ebb and other things that may have been hanging about have the chance to set in! :shock: :wink:
    Love Sue

    it sounds bad but i am glad to know the reason why i have ra as i thought it was just bad luck or my genes were bad so im glad now that i know the reason.
