[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 388176, member: 1514"] Yeah removing fluid is freaky but simple...lol. He would go bonkers seeing the needle. Im glad they will sedate him. Wish they would sedate me for many of my icky stuff! I know I have told you my oldest has RA and he has probably had it for a lot longer than we have known about it. He has had psoriasis all his life and joint problems for at least the last 15 to 17 years but just in the last two to three years has he been able to actually go to a doctor that did more than treat his psoriasis. When he was a kid, the docs treated his psoriasis with creams but no one connected his "weak ankles" with the psoriasis. They just said he was clumsy and overweight. Now his blood work comes back chock full of factors and all that jazz and my history isnt good either. They are starting to think I may have serum negative RA because my hands shouldnt be this bad this fast. He takes methotrexate and indomethacine I think that is the name and it seems to help him right now. I am on ketoprofen which they use for both RA and OA. I know a girl who had JRA and she was on gold shots. You would have never known she had a thing wrong with her. She looked in perfect health and had a great life. Lovely woman. Had kids and everything. She used to work with me. [/QUOTE]
