Hi all.....just a hot lazy afternoon Louie style! Anyways saw my ortho doc and I definitely have a form of rheumatoid arthritis which is an auto immune disorder and when I go to the rheumatologist in July, she will help determine which form I have....also got my 3rd bloodwork done while at hospital and had results when we got home from doctor....my sodium has gone from 127 to 133 (135 is low end of normal) so it looks like I am headed in the right direction sodium wise😁

Oh, Louie Louie the cutie cat! I too have RA. My doc is wishy washy! Need to find new RA doctor, one who reads my chart prior to seeing me. I do take Methotrexate and folic acid. They seem to help some of the pain. I hope your RA is not bad and you will find relief. Hugs and flowers, Suzanna

Thank you, Suzanna........right now my pain is very manageable, it mostly hurts at night when I go to bed, it is of course in the knuckle of my pointing finger on the hand part so when I digitize or type it gets irritated......oh well! I hope I will like the rheumatologist they are sending me to, it always helps to have a rapport, right? Glad to hear your RA is under control and so good to hear from others with this condition.....

Louie has the right idea of how to stay cool and relaxed. Gee, I hate hearing that your medical issues continue. Keep improving that sodium issue and I sure hope that the doctor is able to quickly find the best fix for the RA.

Yes indeed and you concentrate on yourself, my dear friend!

What a cutie. He likes the cool floor. So is the RA the cause of the low sodium levels? Hugs. Nan

The ortho doc thinks it might be because of RA being an auto immune disorder......will see what the RA specialist has to say when I go in July......

Louie looks one happy cat. Sorry to hear you have RA and good luck with the investigations.
