Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi all! I joined the group last week and have enjoyed monitoring your posts. You have made me feel more " normal " . I am a 46-year-old female diagnosed two+ years ago but probably active for much longer. For years I diagnosed my problems as long-term issues from lyme disease and fibromyalgia. My mom and grandmother had RA so I should have known better. I take methotrexate, enbrel, prednisone and folic acid. Still am aching in my shoulders and hands. The orthopod I saw would like to operate and clean up both shoulders but so far I am holding off. I also need a tendon moved in my right elbow. Not a great fan of surgery. Cortisone shots from my rheummy help. I am exhausted a lot which makes me mad as I am used to being active. Have put on weight from lack of exercise and prednisone (I guess). Just thought I would take the time to introduce myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
