I was misdiagnosed for over 20 years ("mild" RA, and my back pain was all in my head) and now am paying the price, facing major surgery because of all the mechanical damage to my back from years of unchecked inflammation, can't feel my feet because the doc I thought was so good up in Mass. didn't have the brains to send me for a neurological workup after the ruptured disc which made my right leg paralyzed for 3 weeks, and the many docs who DXed my left foot problems as being RA in the ankle, and now I know it's a fused foot, ankle is fine). This is so scary for you, Steve, and for Diane, just when you two should be just enjoying life with your three little girls. What are your next moves in this thing? I guess finding a new doctor must head the list. Since you and Diane must have said some pretty strong words in my favor when I was going through my own private hell with that spot (that turned out to be nothing) on my lung, I am saying some equally strong words, prayers, radiating positive thoughts your way.
((((hugs)))) to you both!
