Guest guest Posted May 24, 2002 Report Share Posted May 24, 2002 Hello I am a new subscriber to this group. I was diagnosed with RA in April and given a prednisone taper and hydroxychloroquine. I don't think that the DMARD had kicked in, but the prednisone gave me some initial relief then the swelling and pain bounced back. I saw the rheumatologist again today, a month earlier than planned and after asking me numerous questions and poking and proding a bit, he added fibromyalgia to my diagnosis. He also added sulfasalazine to the pile of pills I'm taking. I'm very discouraged and also worried about how these conditions will effect me long term. Any advise or information would be really appreciated, especially from those with both RA and fibromyalgia. Thanks so much and best wishes Charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
