Polyarteritis anyone?

Posted by efg4me @efg4me, May 31, 2023

I was recently diagnosed with Polyarteritis and I haven’t seen a rheumatologist yet(going on June 1st) My emotions are all over the place and although I’m a nurse (LVN) Im in uncharted territory and idk what to expect from my first appt. What should I ask, what do I need to know? I have some other complications that will make medicating this difficult. I didn’t expect my flesh to hurt this badly!! The disgusting lesions that are now all over my legs hurt and itch, but chunks of my flesh has started hurting and I’m nervous, scared, uncertain and also excited that I’ve been diagnosed finally!! I believe I’ve had this for years and it explains so much!! HELP🥰

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

This is an aside from the main thread:
How does "Private Message" work on Mayo Clinic Connect?
e.g. how would I initiate a PM to someone?

Hi @2catmom, Here is the steps for how to send a private message. This and other features of Connect are described along with the steps for how to do them in the Help Center (link at the top of every Connect page) or just click here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/help-center/

How to Send a Private Message
You can send a private message to another Connect member or group of members.

1. Click the member's username. This will bring you to the member’s profile page.
2. Click Send Private Message.
3. Write a subject and your message.
-- You can add other members to the private message by typing their usernames in Add
Recipients.
4. Click Send Message.
Note: There is a brief period where new members can't send private messages. We do this to deter spammers from spamming community members by private message and to keep the community safe.
