I am having a head--neck mri at the beginning of next week to rule out some diagnosis' that I wish were not mentioned to me, and then I am on to a new rheumatiod arthritis specialist at the end of the week...

Prayers greatly appreciated.....

8/26/10
Thanks for the many prayers, my friends... The MRI results came back normal, praise be to God. He was looking for a tumor, but was more concerned that I may have MS.....the MRI is clean though....

I have been having arm and leg weakness and numbness...causing trouble with walking....we now think is may be the rheumatoid arthritis causes these problems...I see the "big" specialist in the Syracuse hosipitals tomorrow morning...

Stress is still there, but I think I am coping fairly well, (sometimes) especially with the help of all your prayers.

Danny,(ds) is doing wonderful at the seminary, and I am so pleased---Knowing he is doing so well is helping my stress also.

God bless you, my friends,

Joann
