Hand Update

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Months later I final got back to the hand Doctor. He thinks it's an immune system problem. Got to go see Rheumatologist now. Also been fighting what thought been poison ivy for close to 2 months. He thinks that also have to do with immune system. This getting old hard on a guy!

Rheumatologists and Nephrologists are AMAZING Drs. They have their specialties of course, but they can help so many other things as well. When my Rheumatologist told me that I needed to see a KIDNEY Dr for my blood pressure, I thought she was nuts, but here I am, running along quite well now.

Good luck and hope you get some relief soon.

Well Brian, good that you got in finally. And hopefully this will turn into a positive answer and a cure.

2 issues and maybe just 1 more Dr. visit to get you all fixed up.

Yes the getting old is getting old , for sure.

Get your hands straightened out Brian so you can come go fishing...

My regular doctor put me on Methotrexate. Suppose to take 3 times a week. Says will take months to work. This skin problem is like poison ivy meets shingles. Hopefully will get things under control and side effects wont be to bad!

You are on the way , good for you Brian.

Has anyone got the shots in the finger joints for arthritis?
The prednisone had zero effect.
Man o man it’s getting tough.
