You're talking to the choir.....I've been through "interesting times" in the past 18 months with 6 different doctors.....4 of whom said I had RA or Fibromyalgia.....HA....went and found myself a "new age" doc.....got me some good bio-id hormones and the right kind of thyroid meds.....and VOILA....along with vitamins and minerals, I walk 3-4 miles (FAST) a day, and no longer hobble around.....but, it cost us BIG time.....although we are learning how to play the "insurance" game. Best of luck to you. You gotta MANAGE your OWN health CARE!

I "fixed" my problem by purchasing a treadmill at Sears and walking every night for months. The swelling in my legs cleared up. I was somewhat concerned as the swelling in my legs resembled a classic case of congestive heart failure. My oldest son put up with this for 6 months before his last open heart surgery replaced his aortic valve and took care of the problem. Still no answers. I just bought a membership at Gold's gym. They decided to build a facility in Pocatello. The new facility will have a pool, saunas, racquetball courts in addition to the weight/cardio facility. The monthly fee is $25. I can't keep a pool maintained in my own yard for that kind of money.
