Okay if your reading this its a pretty goood chance that u have

rheumatiod arthritis around nov of last year I had blood work done by

my doctor and all of the symptons of this disease it came back

elevated and he arranged for me to see a rheumatologist this disease

is expensive and depressive at times I really dont want to go on

living feeling the pain everyday I went through the club reading

messages posted from others suffering with the disease I take several

medications as well I went from predisone to methylpredisone and

methotrexate and difunisal the things is does this disease get any

better i have been seeing a rheumatologist for a few months now he

keeps telling me to give the medication time to get in my body

somedays I feel great and others I;m so stiff I can hardly move the

days that I rest seem to be better days but If I miss one medication

for that day or morning its like I never started the medication at

all this is scarry to me it seems as if I'm living to take this

medication and that the medicine is what controls how I feel but its

not really stopping the disease I know theres no cure, I guess Im

asking is , is there anyone out there that can relate to this and

give me a better insight to it??? Does it get better if medication is

doing what its suppose to do?? Are there any members in this group

never experience any pain do to medication???
