So.... What is a Rheumatologist?
Been referred to one. I have completely collapsed arches and have always had pain in my ankles, but about 5 years ago it started affecting my knees. Lots of stinging pain in the interior of both knees.
Went to the latest orthopedic guy and he said my soft tissues are so elastic, that surgery wouldn't be a viable option. I wasn't really seeking surgery to begin with, but wanted to make sure I wasn't ruining my knees so that when I'm forty I have to have complete knee replacement surgery.
He asked me if I had any heart trouble and I said no, except I have mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation and shortness of breath associated with it. He referred me to a rheumatologist because he said there are a couple of issues that show up with overly elastic soft tissues and heart troubles that he wanted to rule out.
All this because of bad ankles.

Just wondering what the heck is the link between heart "issues" and soft tissue elasticity.
A lot of crap connected in our bodies that give indications of other problems not even associated with eyes or teeth.

I'd rather ask you.
Who wouldn't? But I think you mikght have a hard time getting a meaningful answer. If tha tmatters to you, which it might not.
How old are you? I'm trying to figure out my death pool points.
I should be worth quite a bit in your pool. You could always bet on a speeding semi or a slip in the bathtub.
No. And despite the multitude of lovers I've had, I am STD free.
Most of these conditions can be be well controlled by medication.
Oh, I forgot... I have psoriasis, too. 4 spots. One at the top of the crack, one on both sides of the package, on one on the side of my left hand.
I don't know how this affects my standing in Steven's death pool.
(Thanks, George.)
Smithsonian has dibs on my corpse. I'm thinking they're going with a modern "David" theme.
Are these spots mayonnaise colored? Might be something else based on their geography.
Had a hot chick dermatologist look at the crack once. I mentioned the balls, and she asked if I wanted her to look at that, too. I had to refrain from saying, "F*** yes, I do." I replied with a shrug and a, "Sure." and then dropped trou.
She was very gentle.

That made me erect.

If you didn't get past the opening intro screen, you haven't lived. Please tell me you saw her rubbing the lotion on the belly.
