Hi Grandmaj! I sure hope you get to feeling less stressed out so you can really get a chance to see what all is going on. Good decision to get in over the ear ache for sure since it is not a usual PSA reaction but then again I am starting to fully believe it can hit us anywhere it wants to, lol! Let’s just hope you have a bug bothering you and the flare is just a reaction to it. Possative thoughts from me to you! Take care and let us know what happens!
Thanks girls, and Sybil, do you think it's the weather? At least we've been having fluctuating temperatures like crazy. IDK how many of you heard but we had temps in the 90s here in MN a few days ago and now it's back in the 70s which is more normal for May. I'm hoping yours is a blip too!!!
Thanks for the positive vibes, Rachael--I think they helped--my hands and shoulders are feeling better tonight. :)
My doctor is out of the office until Wednesday and I decided to message my rheumy too. A Physician's Assistant or Nurse Practitioner could see me, or maybe I'll get lucky and they'll just order the Amoxycillin without seeing me. They ought to know me well enough that I don't ask for meds until I've tried to ride out the illness in hopes it goes away without medicine. Trouble is I don't have a fever, but then I really don't want it to get to that point. When I had strep last August I had a fever and I think the doctor was concerned because he gave me penicillin--the real McCoy.
