Hi, my second rhumi appointment is on monday at 4.45 i would really like some extra support hubbie is coming with me ,i will get my test results and hopefully a plan of what to do next, my gp has pre empt me that apparently i have inflamitory arthritis but he wants her to give me the details and the name of the arthritis involved , really worried its AS my spine had a previous m r i which showed facet arthritis and also ddd my hips also have arthritis, not sure about hands had them exrayed but my right hand is very painfull also right knee swells but isnt hot ,my rhumie said last time i may have fibro as well as my doctor thought the shoulder and arm and neck pain was polymyalgia but rhumi thinks it could be fibro i will have to wait and see its been a long eight weeks wait and i would appreciate as much support as possible feeling down at the moment i am so tired x Jane

Hi Jane,

What a lot you've had to cope with, and a long wait too, so no wonder you're feeling low. Rest assured, there will be a small phoenix in your pocket, hopeful that you'll get the most from your appointment.

Till then, take care,
Phoebe

Hi Jane
I will definitely be in your pocket on Monday, it is scary when you go along to these appointments, you make sure to take a list of any question you have.
Wishing you well with it all xx

will be there with some crackers and cheese will try to eat it quiet and not make to many crumbs.
good luck do not forget your list and take some one with you i still never remember what he said val

It's a good idea to take your husband with you as it's all too easy to forget stuff in such situations. Two of you are much more likely to remember it all well than one.

Why not also take a list of any questions you might have.

And, of course, take us.

I'll be there too, Barking1, I hope you are given the answers (or at least one or two of them) that you so urgently need. I agree with Sticky, take along a list of symptoms, what helps and what hinders, note your tiredness levels, and rest assured we will all be behind you. DD
