Oh Happy Day...

[michelleric]

Well, I don't have arthritis. I am thrilled!   My doctor said its "just MS".  I am SO relieved, I certainly didn't want a 2nd disorder, if I can help it.

Well, I had the 2 root canals today, and will need to go for the crowns this month. (MONEY, lots needed!)  I really hope this doesn't set off any neuralgia's. (I live in fear of the face/head/ear pain.)

Just an update.

It is HOT HERE!  In the 90's, doing my best to stay inside...

That couple probably benefitted from your show of emotions as well.  

We interact with all these medical people who are so reserved in letting those true feelings show - it is always healthy when we see reactions that tell us we are more than just another patient, we are seen as a person .  I hope this makes sense to someone other than me.

Yippeee Michelle!   It's not a little thing not to have RA.  

Yes, as we all know, life can change so quickly.  Enjoy your day sweetie.

The day at work was Saturday, by the way.  Not that it matters at all.

[michelleric]

Checked in quick this morning, on my way to work.

You all are the best.  This is such a fantastically wonderful group of people here.  I just love you all...

I have many posts to respond too, hope I can do it tonight.  

Only one of the root canals is hurting, so I am looking at the glass as half full. I will take the pain med when I arrive to work. (Nothing like checking eyes when on a narcotic. Interesting, but I will just take a small amount.)

Had a good day at work yesterday, was able to get rid of a mans double vision with prisms. He is a young man and had a major stroke in May.  I felt great after "fixing" him, but cried with him and his wife at their new situation.  Probably not a great thing when the health provider is tearing up, but I felt for them, and think that their situation could happen to any person at any time.

Life can change on a dime, and today I am grateful for lots of things....

Hugs to all,

Michelle

Hurragh hurragh hurragh. I am so glad that you do not have RA as you have had enough to cope with, without this additional chronic illness. I have just had an email from a friend who has RA and I had not heard from for ages and she was telling me how debilitating it is so I am soooooo glad for you that you do not have this.

Dentist work sounds absolutely horrendous and I think you are very brave so hope that this is all sorted out very soon.

With love, hugs and more hip hip hoorays

hooray!!!

I'm glad it's not arthritis!  Did the dr explain why MS would be hurting your joints?  Everything I've read says MS doesn't affect the joints, but I'm experiencing similar problems as you.

Also, good luck with the dental work.  I've been putting off the dentist for the same reason.  My TN is only moderately under control and I'm afraid of anything setting it off.

What an  awesome piece of news!!!!!!! SO,SO happy for you!!! (I'm just a little excited, does it show :-0)

I am glad something finally went your way. The money will come, I have a rain dance scheduled for the delivery. In the meantime, I prescribe M&M's  and vodka as a chaser.

So happy for you!!

Many hugs!

It's about time you get a break, Michelle.  No RA is great news.  So good to see you posting after your root canals... you are one tough cookie!  - L

SO happy for you, what a huge relief.

Great News!! Who needs another disease when you already get to have "Just MS", lol

What a trooper you are with the root canals - glad that's over for you. You had a good day

Hugs,
Erin :)

I'm so glad to hear that your doctor as ruled out RA.   What a relief indeed.

Two more root canals and crowns, that IS a lot of money.  I have been staying away from the dentist because I'm afraid I'll hear "root canal".   Ignorance is bliss, not a smart thing, but bliss nevertheless.  Good you are taking care of those teeth because you have a lot of years left to get good use out of the dental work.

Hi Michelle,  I am glad to hear that you don't have another diagnosis, that's all you need.

Root canals are tough.  I hope you are able to make it through without too much pain.

It's hot here too---in the 90's here in eastern Michigan

hugs

I'm glad you don't have arthritis... you don't need more on your plate.  I am getting work done with my teeth as well.  Not fun, my TMJ acts up with there is work done ..

take care

Michelle,

Glad to hear you don't have arthritis.

I am hoping that the root canals do you some good and don't cause you pain. Fingers are crossed for you.

It is hot here too...I was trying to be cheap after my last electric bill, so I turned off the air and opened the windows, didn't work so well, it got overwhelmingly hot in here real fast and the air came back on. Now I am feeling kinda weird, not sure how to explain it but I think it is just because I got hot but who knows it could be something else.

Hugs,
Paula
