Subject: REITERS DISEASE/ELBOW PAIN
ok just so that I dont feel alone in all this(not that I want others to suffer the same) I get inflamed Elbow pain, Now as I have said in the past messages that I have sent to our forum, I was Diagnosed with REITERS Disease (ReA) (due to Food Poisoning),It triggers off the disease if a person has a defective gene callled HLAB27(im Have the defective Gene, because this condition is very rare, few people have heard of it, however, I have this disease chronically, and one of the effects is Inflamatory Arthritis, which is similar to R.A. Symptoms, I have much corrective surgery on my Joints, but becos I have REITERS(this disease attacks the soft tissues, i.e. cartledge, eyes, Tendons, Ligaments, all soft Tissue throughout the Body, its an Insidious disease! However one of My Rhumatologists told me becos my ESR was 49 and went as high as 97, he beleived that I had R.A. on top!! fab huh? anyway does anyone else get Elbow pain? mind u all pain is Terrible, Is there any REITERS sufferes on this forum? IF yes, would love to talk with u, I dont know anyone else that has the same disease as me, so feel a bit alone on this to be honest! Jill
