Subject: ahhrr rheumy nurse

hi hope all are well and not in to much pain

sorry to rant but the rheumy nurse has upset and pissed me off!!!
i have been in so much pain lately and my knee and elbow are so worse so i called the nurse for new blood forms and told her i feel that i'm still not doing much better than before i started the enbral she said my last bloods looked great, so i asked what could be wrong or is my blood not picking up how active my RA is. she said she thinks i'm not giving enbral a chance (been on it 3 months now) and that i properly just over done it.

if i had over done it i'll would know and 2nd my next appointment for rheumy is october so it will be 6 months between appointments and i need help now not in 3 months!!!

i'm so angry at her and my knees and elbow is so painful and resticted at the mo, i can't straighten my left elbow at all and it feels like its stuck most of the time, my knees just so painful all the time and just walking to my front door is hard work

sorry to rant just so angry and in pain xxx

Awwwww Davina, I am sorry to hear your in pain hunnie. I think if I were you, would it be a idea to talk to your regular GP? As if your in pain, your in pain, and just because bloods dont show doesnt mean anything!! You need relief now, not in 3 months time...thats silly...I can only offer you that advice hunnie as I dont know what else to suggest, maybe someone else here can advise better?
Big hugs and take care and pls let us all know what happens and how you get on okies.
