Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hi Mandy, You could start with Plaquenil or Minocycline.Those are the mildest of the RA drugs.Ibuprofen for pain seems to work better than tylenol. Check your diet too.Lower your sodium intake.                                    Â\ Good Luck, Fiona From: mandybishop94 <mandybishop94@...> Subject: [ ] new 2 group Date: Friday, August 13, 2010, 10:15 PM  Hello everyone, just joined the group have not yet been officially diagonsed yet. Still waiting to see rheumatologist. I have a family history my mom and my grandmother on dads side both have RA. My c-reactive protein was 18.1. It all started with severe bone pain went general doctor and they just wanted to put me on an antidepressant, I am not depressed just in pain. Last time at doctor I was the one who brought up the bloodwork for arthritis. Just trying to get some info on the onset and first symptoms you all had. I have severe trouble in the mornings or if I sit in one position very long. And what have you all found out to be the best treatments for you all, so I have some info to go on . My mom says most meds for RA have too many side effects. I appreciate any info. You will all be in my prayers. Blessings, Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
