More Tests for Miriam

[stormdog]

Tests ordered by Miriam's second rheumatologist are providing more information that may be leading toward a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. It's one of the things we've been suspecting for years. I just hope so much that we have an answer for her soon and she can start on treatment that will reduce her pain and make her more physically functional.

Thanks: I hope so too.

Your mother had the auto-immune version and osteoarthritis too? That sounds so hard to deal with given with Miriam has been going through.

That and the rheumatoid variant.

It's something I'm thankful that I didn't inherit as it seems to run in families.
