Good News/Bad News

Hello everyone.  Remember me??  It has been too long. 

The good news...I got married!!!  Yup I did!  Nate and I got married on Oct 3rd.

The bad news...I'm meeting with a rhuematologist on Oct 16th.  My new doc in the northwoods thinks it is possible that I have RA or Fibromayalgia.  Now that I'm here next to Canada, and my symptoms are never ending, I wish I was closer to the cities.  I originally going to have to wait until January (scheduled a month ago) to get into a rhuemy.  So I chose to head to Fargo instead.  But seriously, I have had to wait a month already.  Long story short...I miss home when it comes to doctoring.  I feel isolated and alone in this way up here.  Just my new hubby, kids and I...no friends, no family...and school just started again with 4 full time classes online.

If anyone has any experience with a good rhuemy let me know.  I'd be willing to drive if this one doesn't work out.  I hear that sometimes you have to see at least 3 to get a correct diagnosis.

Being from further up north than u are now, I understand the feeling of loss of options for doctoring.  All I can say is, always get a second opinion, especially for things like RA and Fibromyalgia.  It's worth the drive if you have to head south to get that second.  congrats on the marriage, you will start to meet people, small towns can be a little hard, but get out and involved in the community, that will help u meet people. gl!
