Subject: Had scan and xray
Hi feel abit low today had ultra sound scan on wrist they found some inflammation in my left hand. I had crags aswell can apparently phone up rheumatology tomorrow for results I got my blood results from my old gp and my markers are raised although slightly lower than the first blood test. They say it's too soon to tell but I know what they will tell me they will say it's early rheumatoid arthritis. I'm grateful they have found it early but just sad that it's there.

i know Laura, its a mixed blessing isn't it but at least they will start treating it now. I hoped for ages that i would get diagnosed and then when i was i was devastated.

hi laura i know the weather does make it worse really and because england is so unpredictable i think its worse as 1 day its nice then the next its like this (rain, wind and cold) so you can't really know what to expect day to day. normally inflam markers don't show with fibroyalgia hope they sort it out for you soon. x
