Hello all-I am an RN-I worked in PH for 13 yrs. until 6 yrs. ago when I left to take a full time teaching position in allied health courses and CNA at a local college. This is my first full time job since my son-the oldest-started grade school. He is in GL BC now.He is in DIV 265 if anyone else has children in that one. N4M is a great site for us newbies!

Good morning Victoria! I am sorry you are having such a terrible time with your knee. My husband has RA which is totally out of control right now. He nearly died a couple of years ago when he caught a strep infection while on Enbrel. He turned septic & ended up on a vent in ICU for 21 days. At one point the MD caring for him told me to think about giving permission for them to amputate his right arm since that was where the infection had settled. Thankfully I never had to make that decision and on day 22 they finally had him weaned off the vent and woke him from his drug-induced coma. He had a hip replacement last yr. while our son was deployed. The healing took a long time, probably because of stress. Like you said stress makes this disease so much worse. I hope that you will find good support from this site. I only found this site last month, but it has been wonderful to read others comments and know that I'm not alone in my feelings. It sounds like you have raised a wonderful son. I'm proud to know about him - and all the other young men and women who are serving in the Navy. I hope that you have a good day and a much better night.
Donna from Mansfield,MA

I'm a nurse in a middle school in Gulfport MS (where the Seebee base is - I go by it everyday on my way to work). My son went in 3/10/08. We rec'd first real letter 3/29/08 - a long 19 days. Since this is a nurse site you'll understand my concern. He writes - don't panic mom. Tested + for TB infection, not disease. Did chest xray and extra blood work. Have to take INH daily for next 9 months, no alcohol for 10 months. I know he is in good hands, but still concerned. He just had a PPD in Sept. as he worked for the 6 months prior to going in at our local hospital as a transporter for the diagnostic imaging dept. Just needed to vent to some one who understands. Thanks for listening. Melody
