Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hi I am newly diagnosed with rheumtoid arthritis. I have been in great pain and swelling in my joints since May. Very relieved that i now know what is causing this but I don't know if i can deal with all this. It seems so much too handle. I am 30 years old and work as a teacher of 2 to three year olds in a daycare center so I am having problems with the pain and swelling as I have to be active with them. My doctor has but me on hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, folic acid, and prednisone. Does anyone know how long before i feel any relief and if there are any secrets to deal with the pain and swelling. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
