First I have to say that I am sorry our internet has benn down for a few days. Ok so new rheumatologist i love her. She checked my joints and say i was at the beginning of a flare so lots of blood tests. My hands, feet, knees are swollen. I feel bad. I was on cloud 9 for 3 or 4 days. I was swimming and dancing around with the grandkids. Now I am hurting and tired. The adderall has cleared my mind alot. I dont sit and worry about worrying...lol. I have a lot of up coming appointments. So i hope if this flare is RA we get it stopped before fibromyalgia decides to join in. My mood is great i am happier than i have been in years. ---

I am so glad you found a doctor you like. It is truly wonderful that you are doing better. I hope things calm down with the RA and the fibro doesnt join in. ---

Jackiem, Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! I'm glad that you have someone who's working with you and understands what you're telling her about your illness. And yeah, getting the flare contained before fibro sets in is a fantastic idea. I also like the idea of using Adderall at times to clear the mind. It must be really nice for you to not have to worry about worrying. A big relief! Hugs, petunia
