Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 You have tremendous patience to put up with this for 10 years. I would have started getting other opinions at least 9-1/2 years ago.

She is starting me on Plaqunil and darvocet for pain. Also she has me on pamelor to help me get better rest. If any of you are on these meds, maybe you can give me some info on them. I look forward to hearing from you. I am so relieved to finally get some kind of help that I cried. God Bless you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Plaquenil is a malaria drug and one of the older ones used for RA. It helps some folks. You must have eyes checked regularly while taking it. It can effect your eyes. It gave me bad headaches behind my eyes and I did not stay on it very long. Good luck and God bless, Kay ----- Original Message ----- From: " ylovchan " <ylovchan@...> <Rheumatoid Arthritis > Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2004 12:45 AM Subject: Finally some help! > Hello, finally after 10 years of positive RF factors and positive > DNA,but a negative ANA, I have a doctor who is going to treat me for > RA and Lupus.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Yes, My doctor told me that. I go back in 6 weeks to see how I am doing. I have been to many doctors over the last 10 years and I always have a positive RF of 167-304. And my DNA Lupus test is also positive. But my ANA if negative. They don't understand that so they wouldn't treat my until now. I hope this works, because I am tired of being sick and tired! And I know the rest of you all understand what I am saying. My hands and knees hurt me the most. Sometimes I want to sleep 24/7 and then other times, I can't sleep, or I wake up so many times thru the night,I might as well not even went to bed. > Subject: Finally some help! > > > > Hello, finally after 10 years of positive RF factors and positive > > DNA,but a negative ANA, I have a doctor who is going to treat me for > > RA and Lupus.
