Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I am on MTX and Remicade for my RA. I have been on a lot of different drugs since my diagnoses in 97. I have gained over 60 pounds since that time. I think all of these drugs help us to add weight but I think for me my slowing down and inability to exercise has caused a lot of it too. Every time I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel and that I will be able to start exercising something else happens. Last year it was the accident and then the subsequent 2 operations. Now I am down with this dang bronchitis and exhaustion that just won't quit. I am going to win though. I will feel better soon and start that exercise regimin that I have been telling myself I will do for almost 10 years now. I will be 50 this year in September and I plan on starting my next decade on a promising note. I hope to be in better health when that day rolls around. How many times have we said that to ourselves - that we will be better tomorrow - or start anew as soon as this next thing we have to fight is fought. I guess I am down again but the sun will come back out tomorrow and the temperature will rise. The spring flowers will bring a smile and renewed hope to my heart and I will fight again.
