Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hi everyone, I've just joined the group and haven't had a chance to read through the old posts yet. I'm 41 yrs. old and just diagnosed with RA. I'm really not sure what to make of it all yet. It seems to have come on quite strongly 2months ago. I was put on 30 mg prednisone a few weeks ago which helped significantly. I'm in the process of tapering down to 7.5mg and not enjoying the relapse of flares. I've also begun taking Hydroxycholoquine twice a day. Today is the worst day I've had since I began the prednisone! Wrist and ankle today. I don't see my rheum. dr. for another 4 weeks! I'll be calling him a lot sooner if this keeps up. I have 2 daughtes ages 3 and 5 and a 15 yr old stepson (and a hubby too) and they all keep me busy. I'm looking forward to reading through the old posts and gaining any insight I can. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
