Hi I thought I should introduce myself,I have always had some form of inflammation over the past 15 years I have had uveitis and other reoccuring eye problems, always for the past 5 years have the most painful knee joints also aches and pains , rashes only appeared about two years ago on my thighs and arms , have been to doctors always sent away with telfast and ibuprofen, celebrex, meloxicam, diclofenac to mention a few. Made another appointment this year to see gp as I was so tired all the time, I know I have a full- time job but this is silly getting in at 6 and going bed at eight wiped out...rashes driving me mad and getting short of breath,knees aching so much I could not get comfortable to sleep at night,GP sent me to a muscular skelatal nurse for assement, she refferred me to a rheumatologist at the hospital who did lots of test and x-rays and came up with sle has given me steroids for two weeks then go back to his clinic as he wants me to start taking methotrexate straight away,I still have lots of questions to ask ,as I was not expecting the outcome I got ...personally just thought I had some form of food allergy which is what the GP thought I had until I came back from my hols with the rash , 1st time abroad and what a mess, great holiday but missed two whole days due to swollen face and ankles and rash all over.
so thats my story.....we shall just have to see if the chest x-rays are better next time..still have lots to learn and questions to ask XXXXXXX
