Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Well, this is an update, my rheumy has diagnosed me with an inflammatory arthritis, but we cannot pinpoint which one as of yet, since I have a negative RF, He still thinks that it may be RA but since all inflammatory arthritis is treated the same I guess it does not matter, but for my own peace of mind , I would like to put a name to it. From everything I have read, RA is the only thing that really fits. Anyway, I started treatment with Methotraxate last week. Today will be my second dose. So far the only side affect that I have noticed is a sore mouth. I am also taking 30mg of Prednisone which seems to help. The problem is that everytime the barometric pressure changes within 200 miles of me, i get pain and swelling even worse. My hands are really affected, and since my job entails using my hands, (i am an ultrasound tech)it is a real problem. Any thoughts? Will this improve? Thanks.
