When i had all those other test i was 24 now i'm 33 and finally had some more specific blood work again. I had and RF\RA which was 20 should be 14 or lower and an ANA and HLA B27 which are not back yet but i will keep ya'll posted. Does an elevate RA automatically mean you have RA??? I didn't think it did but i'm not sure what else could it mean if any of u know fill me in please! I am going to make an appointment for a rhuemy in Houston after i get all the BW back in so i can get something done with myself. My hip has really hurt alot lately and when i get up in the morining i can hardly walk http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif i hate to be this way and my DH is paranoid to build our house cause he thinks i will end up not being able to work in a few years. This makes me depressed cause i really want a HOME i have always lived in a trailer and never had a nice house EVER. But he feels like it will all be laid on him in the long run, but i like to work and want to work as long as i possible can! i'm only 33 and don't intend to give up! If i was going to do that i'd have already done it since i have been hurting for almost 10 years now from my back and scoliosis and arthritis in my spine... so this is just one more thing to the list LOL just venting here ...he's tired of listening to me gripe about wanting a house! My parents never had much money then my dad got hurt when i was 7 and didn't work for 8yrs. so we lost the mobile home we had then we had to live in a travel trailer. So i decided i wanted my kids to have a home they could be proud of and bring friends to which is something i nver had...but here it is my kids are 12 and 8 we have live in this trailer for almost 10 years and a crappy rent house before that and i'm just sick of it! Now this throws a monkey wrench into it even more cause DH was already paranoid about building and having a high house note every month...which we have been saving 1200 a month for about 3 years and i don't plan on having a 1200 per month note...hopfully about 600-750 so we should be OK plus i plan on working as long as possible and he makes good money also. I'm just so frustrated with it all right now and him putting things off is not helping me!!! He pretty much won't even dicuss anything to do with the whole process and he was that way before these blood test so i'm sure it will be worse now. I plan on doing everything i can to work through this and keep on living and working and I don't want to put our lives on hold anymore I want to have a nice home that my kids can be proud of and also will not break the bank ...sorry i'm just going on here but i'm just aggravated to no end ...thanks for letting me vent!
