A little over a month ago I had and
abortion for genetic medical reasons.
Well things have not been the same
afterwards. I think I might have had a
bladder infection after that. A week
after my abortion I felt sharp pain in my
chest and in my left arm. Next day it
was in my shoulders then my neck and then
my right arm. I was have terrible head
aches and felt dizzy and started to get
some ear pain. Anyways I went to the
doctor and found out that I had an ear
infection. A that time my diabled two
year old and my 8 month old dauther were
started to get sick. They ended up with
pnomonia and double ear infection. I
ended up with the flu. I was up all night
with them while having the flu and while
bleeding from the abortion. Now its been
a month and my flu has gone but I have
pain all over my body and extreme fatigue.
I have severe headaches and trouble
breathing especially while lying down. I
have heart burn, nausea, loss of appitite
and stomach ache. Im also caughing a
little. I have gone to two neuros and a
reumotologist. Everything was normal
except for a borderline ana which might of
been becuse my blood was taken while I was
sick and while I was antibiotics. The
reumo thinks that it is a reactive
authritis. My pain is all over and my
joints are not inflamed red or swollen.
They just hurt alot. Do you have to have
red inflamed joints inorder of have
reactive athritis? And can it be all
over especially in tmj. They also dont
know what virus could have caused this.
Although from what I have read I think
bladder infections can cause it.

Sounds like a rough time for you for which
i'm sorry. You can definitely acquire ra
from viral or perhaps suspected water
supply. Have you traveled out of the
country before sudden onset of symptoms?
You may be in early stages of as which
won't show inflammation in the bone scans
done until later. Sounds like an
antoimmune disease, feels like a
autoimmune disease, you get the picture.
Your doctors work for you, if unsatisfied,
fire them and search else where. But be
prepared for a long road which may never
classify your disease and leave the
professionals dxing fibro which is a catch
all phrase for they don't know or worse
yet they say it's all in your head..See a
shrink. It can be very distressing also
to watch your children now for inheritant
disposition to this or other autoimmunity.
Best luck in your search.
