My husband has been sort of diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I say sort of, because I don't think that the Dr.s are sure, just treating because they can't figure out what else it could be. They thought Lyme's at first, but the test came back 'neg' so they didn't pursue it any further. After reading info on the tests, etc. wow!! I have been researching this, and looking over the symptoms, and my husband has so many of them. One that really struck me that he hadn't told me about because he was embarrassed to was the emotional crying alot one. He said lately he just starts crying, even watching the hockey game, he just started to cry. He said he has been hiding it, and didn't want to tell me because he was embarrassed, he feels like a sissy. Anyway, I don't think his Dr. is going to be much help to us. It seems to me that being a Dr. is a calling, and there are so many out there that just don't really care. You are just a number. I guess that's another topic though!! Looking forward to any and all info, and hoping I can find a good Dr. around here.
