Doctor appointment results

I ran laps this morning and then drove down to Conroe for my long awaited appointment with a specialist.  He has tentatively diagnosed my problem as Rheumatoid Arthritis.  However, he is doing a lot of blood testing and xrays of my hands.  In the meantime is is prescribing a 30-day supply of steroids.  RA is not curable, but there is medication for the long run.  I go back to him on July 5.
