Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 Hi Haneefa, and welcome! RA, MS and Graves disease..that's a lot to handle. Are you seeing a rheumatologist? I'm not familiar with most of the medications you take. Are they for the MS? I know the Throxin is for the Graves. I wonder if MS meds help RA and vice-verse, since they're both autoimmune? This is a warm and compassionate group of friends, and you'll find great RA info as well. Our moderators, and a, share the latest info on autoimmune disorders and are always able to lead us in the right direction if we have questions.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hello Haneefa, Welcome. I am glad you are here. Sorry about your pain though. I had to give up on the crocheting too. I used to make the most comfortable afghans. I hope to pick it up again someday. My rheumy says that it is good exercise for the fingers. Keeps the joints loose. Hope you have better days soon.
