[QUOTE="DDD, post: 602872, member: 35"] As you guys know I have a number of major issues to cope with based on my life, my health, my husband etc. but darn it easy child/difficult child has been diagnosis'd with RA pdq since it was "gout" a year ago. His local MD has him scheduled for shots that he is to administer himself to his joints. Good grief. I have checked out the internet on RA and I think the shots are steroid shots. easy child/difficult child has reieved a phone call (at our store) from the insurance provider who allegedly is suppose to "give him instructions and send him the medication and injection materials". I answered the phone and said he was not there and not expected back until next week..sigh. easy child/difficult child has a capital H history with drugs but I dont think he has ever done injections. He is a WOOS! :) What can I say the "big bad A teen" could barely tolerate the required childrens shots. LOL! My internet research sure makes it sound rare that a twenty something would have RA. The local MD specialist has his degree from an offshore institution. I'm just a skip away from broke. on the other hand, don't you guys think I need to pony up for a specialist that I know is well trained??? Do any of you think that pot smoking has ANYthing with swollen joints? I don't! That is the "only" bad choice he is making and it is now in moderation. husband and I have as our primary a Rheumatology expert who was well educated in the USA. We both really have trusted him for thirty plus years. I think I need to ante up or sell something or whatever to make sure that easy child/difficult child has the right care. Does that make sense? He is so "you know whattin" vulnerable since his brain surgery that I just can't cut him off from my heart or limited purse strings. Yikes and Sigh. DDD [/QUOTE]
