[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 502195, member: 1631"] After work today I had a follow up appointment. with my doctor. The blood tests he ran at the end of December came back. They found some Rheumatoid Arthritis antibodies (which I wasn't surprised by). They also found some antibodies that might indicate Lupus. Turns out I also might have Celiac's. None of this is horrible in and of itself. If I do have Celiac's I know I won't have an easy time with giving up certain foods. Plus, I have no symptoms so it would be hard for me to follow through. Apparently you can have Celiac's with no symptoms but should still follow the diet. My dr. did say if I do have the Rheumatoid Arthritis they sometimes use Prednisone (sp). If that happens it will really mess with my medications for my Addison's Disease. I see the RA dr. on Friday. On top of that I'm in a ton of pain tonight with my wrist, fingers and my shoulder (I think the shoulder is due to my morning workout). In addition, my knees and ankles are hurting as well. O.k. enough whining for tonight. In the end I'm sure things will be fine but, of course, I find myself looking at worse case scenarios which is really not the way to go about things! [/QUOTE]
