cardiomegaly

by 1casper, Jul 10, 2008 03:02PM
I am seeing a RA doctor, but when I took the exrays-they showed Cardiomegally w/normal vasculature.  I'm puzzled because I thought I was swollen because of the RA, the Doctor says no because I'm swollen & retaining water not just on my joints but legs too.  I knew nothing about RA before september last year and now I'm told I have an enlarged heart and Im fat.  I'm a Christian & others are praying for me-but I'm scared & confused because I just got off taking alot of steroids  to see if I will be able to take this other RA expiramental drug, & now this.  I just turned 50 (i can't believe that) and I havent consistantly done excersizes because I'm out of breath & hurting from RA and now swollen   --   wow I'm a basket case- my youngest is 6 -  Im seeing a doctor tommorrow to get an echo cardo- what else can I do, help

I'm christian too. Sometimes things happen that we don't undersatnd . The bible says that "all things are for the best ,for those that love God."
What I can tell you is, have faith in the Lord. Do not ask him why but, for what? God has the best for your future and family.
God bless you and i pray that soon you will experiment a miracle.
