Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Hi Sue, Welcome to the group. I didn't notice how old you are. I am 35, divorced and have a six year old son (Wyatt). I put off going to the doctor for the longest time also. What I found out later was that I did more harm than good. My RA progressed to the point that it is very difficult to control now. I do take many meds which have nasty side effects, however, there are other meds that ease the sides. It took some time to find the right combination for me, but once I found it, it was wonderful. We are looking for a new combination right now, as the DMARD that I was taking lost its effectiveness after quite a while. But while it worked, I almost felt like a " normal " person. I could move around without difficulty and felt like a productive mom. I hope that you can get to a doctor soon and that you can find the right " coctail " for you. Hang in there.
